It is unbelievable just how many immunizations you need to go to Ghana. I just spoke with the Travel Clinic and checked the CDC's website (Center for Disease Control, the #1 spot to check for health risks) for the immunizations I'll need to enter Ghana.
Check out this list:
- Hepatitis A, shot #1
- Hepatitis A, shot #2 (30 days after #1)
- Hepatitis B, shot #1
- Hepatitis B, shot #2 (30 days after #1)
- Hepatitis B, shot #3 (90 days after #2)
- Meningococcal
- Typhoid
- Yellow fever
- Malaria
Woah. Anyone still want to go to Ghana?
The good news is that I've already gotten all these immunizations for previous trips--so all I need to do now is a quick trip to the doctor for an updated malaria prescription, and then I'm good to go!
Needless to say, I'm excited to be avoiding the needles for this trip...
