Travel preparation: Health - Vaccinations - Part 2

I'm a pin-cushion

overcast

I visited Dr John Scally again today who jabbed me for typhoid and my second rabies shot. We also discussed the best drug for malaria prevention and settled on Chloroquin. However, he pointed out that if I end up in Colombia and Ecuador I should get hold of Malarone as the Chloroquin won't be of any use if I visit malaria areas in those countries.

I have to go back to Dr Scally again on 2 September for the final rabies and Hep A/Hep B shots.

Today's expenses were $42.00 for the typhoid shot, another $95.00 for the second rabies shot and $15.00 for 100 Choroquin tablets. And $81.70 for the consultation fee. Medicare will reimburse me about $50-$60 for this.
