A list...Shots Taj has received in the last two months


Whew! I'm glad I'm not afraid of needles. My arms have definitely been sore.
To date, I've received:
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Typhoid
Polio
Yellow Fever
Rabies
Meningitis (ACYW)
Hepatitis B (again)
Influenza
Rabies (again)

I still need a Hep B (in June), a Hep A (in June) and one more rabies (soon).
I'm quite happy the drug companies continue to research these things...If it hadn't been for GlaxoSmithKline or someone, I'd have had to get a big old Immune Globulin shot...that's the one with the BIG needle, and a whole lot (10ccs?) of liquid, and wouldn't have been able to sit for a couple days. Since Glaxo has developed an effective Hep A vaccine, they no longer need to do that one.
