Jabs, jags, shots.....immunizations

We've been feeling like pin cushions - 5 vaccinations so far- and no reactions other than sore arms and Danny had slightly swollen glands with one of them. We also had blood drawn for grouping. The requirements for Uganda are:

• Series of 3 rabies
• Yellow Fever
• Series of 3 Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis A
• DPT (diphtheria, polio, tetanus)
• Meningococcal Meningitis
• Typhoid
• Cholera

Since BCG (for TB) was routinely done on children in the UK when Danny was a child, he doesn't need to get one. However, for some reason American children were not vaccinated, so I need to get one. Oh joy.

We've ordered our anti-malarials after quite a bit of research as to which side effects are the lesser of the evils. Any are better than full-blown malaria though.

Our placement has not been definitely confirmed yet. Still waiting, and waiting.....
