And that one is in our family. My youngest daughter had a vaccination prior to her trip to Vietnam. She had Vivaxim which innoculates against Hep A and Typhoid.
Within 8 hours she could not move her arm and she even messaged me in at 2 am saying she had pain on a 7/10 level in her arm. She did go to work but could barely get dressed into her scrubs. She also had overwhelming nausea, almost to the point of fainting. So back she came to the doctor and we were given this amazing statistic and a certificate to have another day off work as she was so unwell. Luckily this reaction should dissapate within a few days but unlucky for her that she should be singled out of a very big crowd for something so unpleasant. The good thing though is she will not get sick in Vietnam and we are thankful that such vaccinations exist for our protection. In the scheme of things a couple of days illness is better than getting either hep A or typhoid which could kill you.
That vaccine may put a crimp in our family plans for Morocco - my daughter can't have the vaccine.... Sigh.
