I spent hours today on the Internet researching the CDC and WHO (World Health Organization) websites to nail down what they recommend for people visiting or working in Vanuatu. There are the shots of course - typhoid, Hep A, Hep B, and any boosters we need. Simple enough, but spendy. I did find some good news though... Blue Turtle, the company we decided to get our Malaria meds from, also has a product that works for Dengue Fever - yay! Dengue Fever, a.k.a. 'Bone Crushing Disease' (I think that about explains it), is another mosquito borne disease that is a risk in Vanuatu. Finding that this medication is available and affordable was a huge blessing!
Thanks again for praying with us!
