Health Pre-requisites

I thought I'd tell you about some of the health stuff involved in going to PNG

(oral) Typhoid (booster every 5 years) This is an 8-day regimen of
pills
Hepatitis A Havrix--single injection, then a booster anytime between 6-12
months
Hepatitis B Engerix-- Primary series: 3 injections--one now, another in
one month, and another in 6-12 months (at least get the first two before
you go) Tetanus/Diptheria (booster every 10 years)
Polio (booster once after primary series)
Japanese Encephalitis --3 injections at 0, 7, & 30 days
Doxycycline 100 mg one daily for prophylaxis
The Ukarumpa handbook on how to treat malaria, which will be very helpful.
