Ouch! That’s gonna hurt
I guess I should have seen this coming, but man do you need to get a lot of shots to go to Africa. Let’s run through list real quick. Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Polio, Tetnus, Hepatitis A, B, and C. Oh yea, Hep B is a combination of 3 different shots, awesome. After they gave us the list I about fell over, but they did have some good news. Only the Polio shot is required. Wait a minute, you’re telling me I can either get seven shots in the arm or just one. To make the decision harder these shots aren’t cheap we’re talking an average of $65 a shot here. Who knows what I’m going to do at this point, but me being a guy I’m pretty sure the only one I need is Polio. Right?
