Trip Preparations

This morning after work I walked down to the UW Travel Medicine Clinic to schedule an appointment to get my shots to go to Africa. Interestingly I learned that there is a nationwide shortage or the yellow fever vaccine. Apparently there are only a few specific days that the vaccine will be available at the clinic. The multi dose vial has to be used within 1 hour of opening it. I now have an extremely inconvenient appointment for the yellow fever vaccine. But you've gotta do what you've gotta do when it starts to come down to the wire.
