It was a big thing on our list to get checked off, and we were happy to have it finished.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2946\" alt=\"payton shots\" src=\"http:\/\/paytonandgrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/payton-shots.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"401\" \/>I&#8217;m not a fan of shots or blood being drawn. If you&#8217;ve heard my Red Cross stories you know why. I was quite nervous to say the least. Whenever you get travel vaccines, they usually come with a consultation to make sure you get the right ones for the right continent. Nurse Holly was our consultant and did an amazing job. I&#8217;m pretty sure that by the end of the consult I was glad to get vaccines! People aren&#8217;t always nice, but Holly was very inviting and sweet&#8211; for that I&#8217;m thankful.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;&lt;Here&#8217;s Payton getting 1cc of Hep A injected into one arm and 0.5cc of TdaP in the other. By the end of the day my arms felt like I&#8217;d done 100 push ups.<\/p>\n<p>I was a &#8220;baby&#8221; (according to Payton) and asked if I could lay down. Nurse Holly didn&#8217;t mock me at all (another bonus point for her!). Shots make me woozy. I know it&#8217;s all in my head, but laying down seems to divert the psychological response of terror, so I did.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-2948\" alt=\"grace shots\" src=\"http:\/\/paytonandgrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/grace-shots.jpg\" width=\"215\" height=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to lie&#8211;they made me feel yucky. The first two days I needed naps and drug myself around the house kind of mopey-like. The dancing Typhoid pill wasn&#8217;t fun either, contrary to the advertisement on the picture.<\/p>\n<p>But, I am thankful that these are available! And I&#8217;m also thankful that NTM does a great job preparing us and has some amazing people over in AP keeping us informed of what we need. I&#8217;m also thankful to the people who&#8217;ve been supporting us so that we can even get these vaccines in the first place!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2947\" alt=\"payton shots 2\" src=\"http:\/\/paytonandgrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/payton-shots-2.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"448\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the event that you feel a bit tentative about taking a live virus pill, don&#8217;t worry, Viviotif will convince you with their brochure!
