Reading through the brochures led us to believe that we would need two prophylaxis for our upcoming trip — a yellow fever shot and malaria pills — no sweat. Turns out not to be the case! Previous allergic reactions convinced me to visit the U.C. Davis Travel Clinic earlier rather than later. When the intern started rattling off the list of shots and pills we would need to take, I was not a happy camper! We would need shots for yellow fever, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio booster; and we would have to take pills for Typhoid and Malaria, with anti-diarrhea pills (just in case). I also requested sleeping pills for the two 10-hour flights it takes to get to Africa. And, the two Hepatitis shots come in a series of three!
