Vaccinations Yay!


Bring on the typhoid--I am immune. And so is David. Also to Polio, Diphtheria, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A, and Tetanus. I can happily step on all the rusty nails that Kyrgyzstan throws in my path, and isn't that a relief? One less thing.

They've also given us anti-malarial drugs to take for like 16 weeks. The small print is super fun. Possible side effects: severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, aggression, vivid nightmares, insomnia, seizures, birth defects, peripheral motor sensory neuropathy, balance damage, and various sorts of central nervous system issues. Sounds like a party. But apparently these only affect like 25% of people who take it.

Now on to rabies...
