Travel medicine (2)

Back to the travel clinic for booster shots... The girls knew what to expect this time, but they were brave and didn't make a fuss. So we got our booster shots for Hep A and B. It was combined into one needle so the girls were happy. This time we came away with the cool Shrek band aids. The not so cool ones went back in the box for the doctor's next victim!

We have one more booster for Hep A and B, but that isn't for another few months. We also need Japanese Encephalitis, but rather than pay $115/shot and we would each need three shots we think we may get it in China and pay only $5/shot. Amazing what happens when you mass produce something! We got the e-mail address of a clinic and will see what we can arrange.

We also need Malaria pills. It's not likely that we would get it, but better be safe than sorry. Those can wait until we are closer to our departure date.
