Making A List...Peru Packing
I've started to think about packing for my trip to Peru and Machu Picchu this October. On Thursday, I went to see my doctor about vaccines. This is what CDC says I need: - Routine vaccines - Hepatitis A & B - Tetanus - Typhoid - Yellow Fever I had the routine vaccines as a child (polio, measles, mumps etc). So those are all set. I'm pretty sure I had a tetanus booster in 2006. My doctor and I both think I had Hepatitis A & B before I went to Costa Rica in 2000. The problem is, I wasn't her patient back then. Marcia (her Physician's assistant) went down to the basement to find my medical records to see if I really had those vaccines - no sense having them if I don't need them! Unfortunately, my medical records are buried somewhere in the basement, so someone is going to search them out. I do need a Typhoid vaccine. Its in a pill form though, so my doctor called it into my pharmacy and I can get that out of the way anytime I want. Yellow
