Immunizations for people traveling to Vietnam\nBy Allison Martin & Wendy Barron \n\nSeveral months before you travel, review immunizations requirements with your personal doctor or a medical travel clinic. In most cases you can follow the general immunization guidelines for travelers to Vietnam, one exception being that adoptive parents are at higher risk for Hepatitis B. \n\nThis list is based on personal recommendations from several doctors and experiences.\n\nMMR Measles, mumps, rubella. Update vaccines. \nDPT Tetanus, diphtheria. Update vaccines. \nPolio Update. \nTyphoid Update. \nHepatitis A Generally recommended. \nHepatitis B Hepatitis B immunization is recommended for adoptive parents by doctors who specialize in international adoption medicine. (For more information see Hepatitis B and Adoption from Asia on Comeunity.)  \nMalaria Mefloquine (Lariam) is the most common medication taken by travelers to Vietnam. Some people do experience side effects. Read more about Malaria. \nOther It is generally not recommended to get Cholera, Japanese Encephalitis, Yellow Fever, Rabies (except for extended visits), or Meningitis immunizations. \nSafe Travels

I would suggest calling your physician or at the very least asking the pharmacist which would be the safest to take..Good Luck

MissBehave is right.  I would go a step further and get a very concentrated form of Vitamin E.  I get 1000 iu capsules, stick a pin in it, and place the oil on the scar daily.  One capsule lasts 2 days.  Go to a wholesale club and get them cheap.

Please consult a physician or at least do research someplace other than here.  Your questions are too important to rely on random people who may or may not provide you with reliable information.

You probably don't really want to be injecting TOXINS into your arm.  Just use an anti-perspirant.\n\nQuestions? Comments? Concerns? Email me through the link in my profile, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.

There's reqirments? Just call the school and enroll her. \nJust make sure she's up to date on her shots...really.

Hi, please don't worry yourself too much, it really isn't that bad. Stubbing your toe or elbow hurts more than the injection and then you will just fall asleep, easy. \n\nYou could try taking some 'Kalms' tablets to help with the panicky feeling in the lead up to the date, you can get them in Tesco or Boots or any chemist. Check if you can take them before having the anesthetic though. Please don't work yourself up over it, you will only make yourself think it will be worse than it actually is.

It depends on how much you are given. 1 injection usually takes about 2 hours to wear off. You may get some aching at the site of the injection. You may also drool a bit. I find a warm cloth helps reduce the swelling faster.

Holy christmas (literally!)... the last poster, be careful.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1999.  I didn't start taking medications until 2004 (had a bit of denial there)...\nI got a flare-up that forced me to think harder about my future (and a great fiance to boot!).\n\nA lot of people go on the interferons, and Glatiramer acetate, which is what I'm on.  When I decided what to go on, I thought about what I'd have to do for it.  I was a bit worried about giving myself a shot, and I figured that I would need to have the least intrusive method of medication delivery... so I decided subcutaneous (just under the skin).  That cut down the list of interferons... \n\nThen I thought about side effects, a lot of the interferons have flu like symptoms.  When I started the meds, I was feeling weak, pins and needly, and limpy.  I said, do I want to have a cold on top of that.  No siree.\n\nI mean, you really have to talk to your NEURO, and what (s)he recommends.  It just so happened that the first NEURO in 1999, recommended Avonex as he was drinking out of an Avonex branded mug (no foolin!).  That is what turned me off from the med idea in the first place.  My SECOND neuro, he asked me my concerns, and we decided on Copaxone.  Yes, it's daily, but it's under the skin, and it just has local reactions for me as a side effect.\n\nI WAS PETRIFIED of giving myself these shots.  Many of the companies (my drugs, included) have autojectors, so you don't even have to see the needle.  Copaxone (or my doctor, I can't remember, it was so long ago!)... required me to have a home care nurse there the first time to show me how to administer the drugs.  I gave it to myself without hesitation the first time!  I am a little wary of someone else doing it (though she had recommended that my fiance learn how, too).\n\nResult?  Well, there's not much to say!  (that's a good thing)... my original symptoms had faded, and I don't know if that was the copaxone or what.  I've been on it since 2/2004 (wow!  going on 2 years soon!), and I have NO NEW LESIONS!  boy, that's more exciting than I thought it was going to be.\n\nNow, your milage WILL vary, and unlike my first time experience, you will LIKELY have to go through a few drugs to find one you like.\n\nGood luck to you!

Visit your doctor they will give you some good products. Or go to Pharmacy and they will suggest a few products.

You need at least 2 doses of the vaccine. If your shot record doesn't show 2, I would go get an MMR just to be safe. The people contracting it are those that are not immunized. A good lesson for those parents that think immunizations are not necessary or are harmful.

Go to your local hospital and ask this question.  You'll get what you need

Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

What the heck do you mean by "consolidate"?  Do you mean I should take my three daily injections all at once?  Um - no, not unless my intent is suicide!  Just as one has to spread one's daily bread over the entire day, one has to spread one's treatment of one's diabetes over the whole day.  \nIf one were fortunate enough to have a mild enough case of diabetes that one cold make do with diet control and one pill a day, that's great - but you asked about injections, not about oral meds.  If you're a newly-diagnosed diabetic, don't freak around!  Do what your doctor tells you about the disease.  To learn more, ask for a referral to a certified diabetes educator - usually a Registered Nurse who's completed graduate studies in diabetes management.  He or she can tell you a lot about the illness you didn't  know, and he or she is actually a better choice to teach you how to self-inject than the doctor usually is!  Good luck, bro - it's a p*i*s*s*e*r of a disease and it usually kills us, eventually.  Our job is to put off that final nail in our coffins as long as possible.  So get edu-ma-cated, okay?
