I'm off to Malaysia next month and in preparation I went down to the health unit today and got a total of four shots - two in each arm. I've been avoiding my MMR booster shot for a few years now and I skipped out on the mandatory tetanus shot they give you in the 9th grade, but I got caught up on all of them in four foul stabs earlier today. The tetanus side is still throbbing slightly but it wasn't nearly as painful as I had it built up to be. My biggest fear is that I will be part of the tiny fraction of people that have an adverse reaction to the vaccines. So far so good.
