After a false start to getting our vaccines for South America and getting a bum steer from our local doctors surgery. We got our shots for South America today.
In these modern times of living in a metropolis of a clean and healthy western society, we tend to become a little lapse towards maintaining this balance when going off the grid to strange and exotic locations.
Elena’s detective work uncovered a travel clinic that specializes in immunizations and pretty much everything travelers like us need right in the heart of Brisbane CBD. Only thing was the doctor who gives the shots we needed worked limited hours. So Saturday was the only day for us to get the jab.
Dr John Skala was only too happy to share his knowledge and give his advise on what we needed. John was impressed with our long itinerary and it wasn’t long before we discovered that John was the founder of The Travel Clinic. John started his business over 25 years ago and now boasts more than 50 clinics throughout Australia.
John advised that for South America we’d need
Vaccines
- Yellow Fever
- Malaria Tablets
- Altitude Tables
- Mosquito Repellent
- Tetanus Booster
- Hepatitis A
John advised that over the next week we may feel like we’re getting the flu and this is a natural body reaction.
