I foresee dreams of giant syringes chasing you while you have a target is hanging on your backside. 
Sleep tight.  |

| Smallpox? I thought that was famous for being the first (only?) infectious human disease we'd managed to stamp out? Are you having that one for fun? |

No, I am having that one because there are a few live strains remaining, and several nations have weaponized it in the past. I would estimate the chances of there being any currently weaponized smallpox to be about 0.000000001%. That weapon being in the hands of someone who will attack US forces in Africa in the next few years is substantially less.
On the bright side, it was decided today that my 2003 small pox vaccination was still good, and I got to skip that one. 
4 injections in the left arm, 2 in the right, influenza up the nose. Happy happy!  |

| Yellow Fever is a dodgy one. It feels like you've been given a dead arm... for 12 hours! |

Yellow fever and Typhus both tend to produce fevers in me. Influenza can, depending on the strain they're chasing that particular year. I have learned to stay on top of it with motrin. Right after the shot series I went to lunch and then started my motrin regimen. It helps loads.
The only one that hurts going in is the Hepatitis B. That burns all the way to your thumb for about 3-5 minutes. Then its over.
Tetanus is never fun. Anthrax is a 6-shot series with boosters. I took the original series back in 2000. Each subsequent shot produces a greater aching sensation for 12-24 hours. Today was no exception. It feels like Nuke laid a big Tennessee haymaker on my left shoulder. |
