Was advised to get what you mentioned. So went this morning, just about recovered from some sort of flu virus tht laid me out for 4 days. She offered to do one injection in each arm and the third at a later date, I said just get them over and done with! As I am left handed she put two in my right arm (Tetanus and Hep A) and the Typhoid in my left arm. I thought my right arm would be the one hurting, but the solitary injection in my left is giving me grief... It feels like Mike Tyson has punched me in it! And when I lift my arm above my head I am in agony!

Harlene just laughed at me and said I am a baby lol

Good for you Slip
I for one do believe you made the best decision.

I've seen too many friends and colleagues get caught out over the years by being too cavalier about such protections.....some very seriously I might add.

Keep up any needed boosters too. The stiffness gets less each time
