Yesterday we had our last appointment with the Travel and Immunization Clinic in Windsor. We had our second Hepatitis A&B shot. The Third and last Hepatitus A&B shot is to be received on March 4, 2012. Also I asked if they had the new flu shot for this year and they said that they just received it and I could have the shot if I wanted it. The nurse told me that I was the second one that she had given the new flu shot to since they had received their supply of the new flu shots. Dorothy could not get her flu shot as she had to take 2 shots that morning and a third could not be administered to her.
In addition to the shots we got the prescriptions for Dukoral that was to prevent catching ecoli and antobiotics for severe Diarrhea treatment that we pray and hope that we never have to use. After getting these prescriptions, we took one of the Dukoral treatments and have to take the 2nd treatment in a weeks time.
The nurse at the Travel Clinic also gave us an International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever. Surprising this is a yellow card and is required for entrance into certain South American countries. We also got a booklet on our Travel Immunization Record that we have had our shots for Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Hepatitas A&B, Tetnus and the most recent Flu Shot. We have now received all the shots recommended for our travels to South America that will be commencing in less than 2 weeks. Yes, we are excited about going on our 37 day cruise to South America. This is to start on October 16 with a 10 AM morning flight to New York where we will be catching our Holland American Line ship, the Veendam. The ship is scheduled to leave New York at 4.45 PM on the same day.
