Ouch! Shots!

In less than a week, we will fly out of here en route to Lilongwe.  Ever since we’ve accepted the jobs at the London Search Fair, we’ve known that moving to Malawi was going to be an adventure, much more so than moving to Riyadh, two years ago!  

Since late March, we have been getting the necessary vaccinations in order to protect ourselves.  So, we are now immune to Typhoid, Rabies, Tetanus, Hepatitis A and B (kids already had those and did not need them again) and Yellow Fever.

Yeap, that’s a whole bunch of shots!  But we’d rather be safe than sorry…  The only thing I wish we could get a shot for is Malaria, but that doesn’t exit!   Taking anti-malaria meds for two years straight is not an option, so we are going to have to be extremely careful and protect ourselves against mosquito bites, by wearing long pants and long shirts, sleeping under a mosquito net and spraying ourselves with DEET!  Let’s cross our fingers!
