We had our last visit to the travel clinic today. We had two previous visits in the summer of 2008 as we thought we were about 6 months from travelling at that point. Fastforward to 2010 and we are still waiting!
In total, we ended up getting immunized for Hep B (3 shots), typhoid, and TDP (Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis). The doctor prescribed us an antibiotic to take with us in case of dysentery. He also recommended Dukoral (an oral vaccine for traveller's diarrhea). The latter may be overkill. He also suggested taking Imodium with us.
In all my travels throughout Asia and Europe, I've only had stomach troubles once, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry!
He recommended using insect repellent containing DEET to ward against diseases carried by mosquitoes.
We are hoping to call the agency Thursday or Friday to get an update.
