Eilen kävin omalla tk-hoitajalla ottamassa keltakuume- ja meningokokkirokotteet. Keltakuumerokotteen mukana täytettiin kansainvälinen rokotekortti, johon voi halutessaan merkitä myös muut rokotteet, joita on saanut. Olin varautunut, että minulle tulee rokotteista huono olo tai nousee kuume, mutta mitään suurempaa ei ilmennyt, kuin jomotusta pistokohdassa. Seuraavaksi otan sitten suun kautta otettavat rokoteannokset ja tietysti on vielä ne malarianestolääkkeetkin.

There is only few weeks to the beginning of my trip to Ghana. Today I have been writing my visa application, that is not easy one to do! I needed to take 4 passport photos of myself the the application and need to send the whole thing to Denmark that has the nearest Embassy of Ghana in Scandinavia. I need to send the my passport as well. Sounds a bit frightening to do that actually! The whole visa process will take some time, I hope that I am not late with this part.
I took my first vaccination yesterday. Yellow fever and meningococcal vaccinations. I was expecting some symptoms of them but I had none. Just some muscular pain on that part of the body that the vaccination was done on. Next I will take some oral medication as well as the anti-malaria medication.
