Well, like I said, she read the US CDC web site and I guess just figures that "they know best." LOL (You should see the "laundry list" of things they say you "need"!!!)

He did get everything except the Hep A&B. Our doctor said there was not enough time to get them in before he left and it may do more harm than good if he could not get in at least the 1st and 2nd shot before he left. Our doctor is going to do a Hep screening when he gets back and if that is OK, we will do them when he returns so this won't be an issue for the next trip.

His company did suggest the Encephalitis and Typhoid, and this suggestion came from the company he will be working for. They said on those it was a "rather be safe than sorry" attitude because they did have someone come back from there to the EU with a "possible" case of Encephalitis.

He did get an anti-malaria prescription that I have not filled yet because it will have to be ordered, it is called Mefloquine, 1 pill a week begining 1 week before he leaves, the entire time he is there and for 4 weeks after. Our doctor said out of all the anitmalarial drugs, this was the "lesser of the evils" but it did tend to cause horrible gas (OH NO!). Our doctor has been on a "medical exchange" to Indonesia and this is what he took. I'm wondering if we should even bother knowing he is going to only be 1 1/2 hours from a major city. Yes, it is in the "country," but not all that far out. The doctor also gave him a prescription for Cipro.

Now another question, since he will be staying in a nicer hotel, do we really need an insecticide-treated sleeping net?
