Shots

So in my preparations to journey off to the land of Ghengis Khan, I became a human pin cushion. Wonderful diseases abound in Mongolia and now thanks to the nice people at Farragut Travel and Medical Center in DC, I no longer have to worry. For anyone who is curious I received:

Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Yay, No Lockjaw!)
Hep A
Hep B
Typhoid
Polio
Japanese Encephalitis (This was the most fun as it was a series of three shots)

I also get to take Malaria medicine the entire time I am abroad. Luckily, I am told my medicine is the nightmare free version. I certainly don't want to terrify my host family with shrieks in the middle of the night.
