 typhoid injection - ouch! 

Had my Thyphoid injection today - my arm feels like I've been punched - shame it only last 3 years!

Already got my Hepatitis A and Tetanus/Polio/Diptheria.

Ah well - it's worth it for 2 weeks in Goa!

Only 17 more sleeps..... (hope the rain stops by then!)

I used to react really badly to the old typhoid jab - big scarlet ring around my arm for weeks, temperatures, shivers and shakes - but fortunately with the newer one I'm OK. I used to absolutely dread it!

Yes Carol it will be worth it AND the next one in 3 years shouldn't hurt quite so much.

Hi SNJBrighton

I'm sure it will be worth it!

This isn't the first time I've had a Typhoid jab tho, the last one was as painful afterwards as well - I'm such a lightweight when it comes to jabs anyway!!!

Lol @ Badger! How do I say this politely? You wuss lol!

Seriously though, the typhoid jab does make your arm ache a fair bit. Glad we've still got another two years until the next one!
