Pincushion
I was recently asked (hi, Anne!) what vaccinations I got for my visit to India. Here's my card:
The List:
- Typhoid (three oral dose series)
- Polio
- Meningitis
- Tetanus
- Diptheria
- Hepatitis A & B (3 shot series)
- Pneumococcal
- Japanese encephilitis (3 shot series)
- rabies (the first 3 of a 6 shot series; remaining 3 only if exposed)
I got all but the last three before my first visit in 2005; the last three were added for this trip because of its duration. I also take mefloquine once a week as a guard against malaria.
Of course, none of my Indian friends/coworkers take antimalarials, nor have they had many of these vaccines.
