Vaccinations aren't that easy

Date: Nov 09, 2009

Turns out when you off on a wild adventure, things are not quite so simple. Me being mostly lazy, I asked Cristy to book me a doctors appointment so I can get my vaccinations. Easy right? Not quite.

Cristy has just emailed me back with:

Vaccines aren't easy.. You need to go to the doctor who will request a list of vaccines from QML pathology, QML will send a list to the doctor with possible side effects and you and the Dr decide which ones you need, then you order them, then you get them injected or take the tablets depending on what you decide.

Then:

I called the doctor first and she told me to call QML, I called QML and they said they only give information to the doctor so I called the doctors back and now she is finding out and calling me back... Rob isn't going to do this...

Yes, Rob is Lazy too, it's a family thing.

Anyway did all the above and behold:

After attempting a world record as a human pincushion, I should be immune to just about anything except trucks.

Run Warning

These adventures are genuinely dangerous thing to do. The website is written in a light-hearted fashion but you cannot underestimate the risks involved in undertaking this kind of adventure. Your chance of dying can be very high, some past teams have been seriously injured. These adventures are not a glorified holiday. They are an adventure and so by their very nature extremely risky. You really are on your own. If it all goes wrong, that's it, tough.
