This morning I got my Tetanus and Typhoid immunizations taken care of. Though, I only really needed to get my Typhoid immunization, the nurse at the county health department suggested that I go ahead and updated my Tetanus Booster (Tdap) as well. Technically I was good with my Tdap until 2018 (once every 10 years) however, she said for active traveling an update every 5 years was recommended.

As for my Typhoid, I got the pill
option, it will take about a week for full immunization. I take one
pill every other day (4 pills). This treatment is actually a “Live
Virus” but, I will not be contagious or anything. She said some
stomach upset and tiredness will be the most of my worries. However, with the pill I am good for 5 years vs. just 3 years with the shot and the pill option was cheaper... poor marketing if you ask me. :P
All in all, I went in today not
planning to get any shots but, I ended up getting two. The other was
for a non-travel related immunization regiment that I fail to
complete when I was a child. So, I am all set healthwise for my
trip... SO EXCITED!!! :D
Next task is to get my International
Driving Permit from AAA. Doing that today, leaving in a few
minutes...
