Shots

I went for my second round of shots yesterday and afterwards I couldn't lift my arm to get the coffee down from the cupboard shelves in the kitchen at work. It still feels a little sore but I can lift it a bit higher so that's a good sign. So far the tetanus shot was the worst and took a few weeks to go back to normal. Here's the cost so far:

Tetanus FREE
Twinrix (Hep A & B) $78.00 x 2
Polio FREE
Mumps Measles and Rubella $42
Typhoid fever $45

I got an official doctor's note that I do not have to get the Yellow Fever vaccine which I have to take with me. The next batch will be the Malaria, Rabies ($210 x 3), and medication for travellers diarrhea. I do not have to do the Rabies, but it is recommended since I will be working with animals and is also recommended for pet-sitters which is the industry I will be going into when I return so I decided it would be best to do it just in case. But, the financial strain is a bit much right now. Thank goodness for the library and free entertainment in general.
