the shot list

In case you're thinking of visiting Africa, here are the shots we were told we needed for Rwanda:

-Hep A

-Hep B

-Typhoid

-Yellow Fever

-Polio booster

-Tetanus (in case you're due, which we are)

+Malaria pills

*They also recommend three shots of rabies, but apparently there's a shortage so we can't get them.

For someone who can't even look at needles without getting anxious (me), this is not a comforting list.  I did one on Monday and have at least two to go, pending the discovery of medical records.
