Answer:
If you're travelling to Africa you’ll have injections for yellow fever and hepatitis. Don't worry I travelled to West Africa 2 years ago and I was so scared because I didn't want to have the injections but they don’t hurt at all. I felt so embarrassed and such a large baby afterwards because I had made such a fuss and told the nurse I didn't think I could go through with it. It was really funny because the nurse stated “It's all over now” and I thought she had not even done it yet, that's how simple it is. The injections will be in the top part of your arm.
Answer:
You'll be having Yellow Fever (isn't to bad, but makes your arm a little sore)
Hep B as well (which is, if I remember correctly) two injections, the first than another injection two weeks later. Doesn't hurt at all.
Rabies (a course of three injections) as they're inter-muscular, if you’ve them injected in your arm it hurts - so ask whoever is administering them to either inject you in the stomach or backside. A little humiliating yes - but it hurts a lot less.
I hate injections to, but just imagine the sights you'll see in Africa, concentrate on those.
That's what I did when I meant backpacking in South America.
Answer:
One will almost certainly be Yellow fever, I guess the others will be Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid and polio. Or a combination of some, or all of these.
It will be in your arm, the yellow fever can make you’ve flu like symptoms for a couple of days that's all.
If you think the injections are horrible, wait till you see ( and smell) africa.
