I organised to have my various 'shots' with Dr Preshy during the first week of Term 3. These included Meningococcal, Typhoid and a Hepatitis booster. Dr Preshy also organised the Prescriptions for my Cholera and Malaria treatments, both of which I will need to commence prior to departing on September 12. Although I felt a little like a pin cushion, having the shots in the muscles of my shoulders, it's good to know I'm protected.
Interestingly, Ebola has recently broken out in Western Africa (initially in Ghana) but as there is no vaccination for this disease, and Ebola is only caught through bodily fluids, I'll just need to be careful while over in Uganda.
