My visit to the travel clinic

I received a ton of information from the travel clinic nurse the other day:

  • Malaria (where it is common)
  • Insect precautions
  • Dengue Fever (although not common where we are going)
  • Traveler's Diarrhea
  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Air Travel
  • Health Care Abroad
  • Safety and Security
  • Trip Checklist
  • Post Travel
  • General Travel Health 


Wow, I'll have to find time to read all this good stuff!

I got a prescription for Cipro (in case of traveler's diarrhea) and also received some "jabs":

  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B

I'll need to go back in a month for another dose of Hep A/B, and then another about 6 months later.
Here's my snoopy band-aid :-)

  1. I need the typhoid and the dose #2 of Hep A then I'll be set.
