Injections

I didn’t actually realise how many nasty things were waiting in other countries to infect you and make you ill!!!

Last week I visited our doctors surgery and filled out a form which states where we are going to be going. The practice nurse gave Hayley a phone and asked her a few questions:

Do you want to be immunised against Rabies?

Do you want to be immunised against Hepatitis B?

H was a wee bit unsure, so we need to discuss our holiday optional extras when we see the nurse, but my opinion is that if it’s out there and a vaccination exists then inject me – to be totally honest I don’t fancy getting Rabies.

So today I picked up our prescriptions and we are getting injected with two things for starters. One called Viatim and one called Revaxis.

I now need to make an appointment with our nurse, go collect the prescription the day before the appointment, store the drugs in the fridge overnight and then take them to our appointment where the nurse will stab me in the arm a couple of times and we’ll talk about any other injections we may need.
