Malaria and Typhoid

I finished the Typhoid vaccination (4 pills) last week.  Some people get really sick on them so I was really worried since my finals were last week.  I did not get really sick. One day I was a little queasy, but not bad.  Two days I felt some strong pain in my abdomen, but nothing I couldn't tolerate.  For those who have never had to take this medicine, you can take a shot or the 4 pills.  The pills are suppose to last longer and be more effective.  You have to take the pills every other day until you have taken the last one.  It is a live virus, hence the ability to make you sick.  Much better than getting Typhoid though.  

Anti-Malaria pills are going to cost 43.00 a month.  That is my cost after insurance.  It is also a pill that I take daily, starting a week before I leave.  I did a little research on Malaria since so many children in Zambia get Malaria, and we will be there during the rainy season.  It is an awful and devastating disease.  It can be treated for a little more than a dollar a day, and yet thousands of children die each year in Africa due to lack of treatment.
