Vaccinations Are Underway

Last week, Matt and I began the process of getting our vaccinations for our trip. It's been so long since I've had a shot, I honestly forgot how painful they can be! Especially that tetanus shot. Yowzers! We were able to get our first round of the Hepatitis A/B combo shot. I also received the tetanus shot and the nurse did two titers on Matt to see if he needs to get MMR and Polio since we don't have his documentation on those. We'll go back in the next couple of weeks to get our shots for Yellow Fever, Typhoid and Meningitis, along with our second round of Hep A/B.

We haven't experienced any side effects as of yet, besides the muscle pain from the tetanus. We are so thankful that we were able to find a place that takes walk-ins AND insurance, so all of the routine shots will be covered. Thanks Blue Cross!

And, like it was during our days as kids when we were sometimes rewarded for enduring certain situations, we promptly sought out an ice cream shop when we were done because ice cream always makes things better, right? It just so happens that there is one just a few buildings down from the Urgent Care where we got our vaccines. Coincidence? I think not. It sure was a good peanut butter cup sundae!
