Did any of you guys get vaccinations when you started flying to all those exotic places?

 

[DrProc]

A lot of companies will take you to a clinic in ground school to get them, or at least reimburse you when you get them.

I carry a emergency penicillin shot with me just in case and thats just for Canada.

 

[TheBaron]

No. But every time I go through India I swear I'm going to.

I think most of the companies will flip the bill for anything that you will need. However its up to you and Yellow Fever is really the only one that would be required.
I did the Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Hep A/B, a fresh Polio Vaccination, and always get my flu shot.
One thing you shouldn't do is get them all in one day.

fokkers,

Did you have a reaction to some of the shots?

My doc just went ahead and stuck me with all of them in one sitting. I did OK, just got a little nausea for ten minutes or so after the fifth or so shot, thats about it. But then again, I don;t like needles, so maybe that was it.

I never thought of carrying penicillin for a trip to Canada. Must be for diseases carried by the fish in all of their unspoiled rivers.
