    Have you finished work yet Josie Ann?

    Oh yes, thank you for remembering, I feel great, my last working day was last Wednesday but contract ended yesterday. I have applied and been accepted on the Bank Immunising team. That was my favourite aspect of the last job as you actually get to see and interact with the pupils instead of attending meetings and constant computer work. Will be working with all my very stressed colleagues!:rotfl:

    Can anyone help with my techie question?

    My app for for COS fails to open quite regularly but usually opens eventually but not tonight. Any ideas ? The system has no updates outstanding TIA

    Is it on an ipad and if so do you have the auto rotate turned on? That's usually why it won't open on mine

    All travelers

    You should be up to date on routine vaccinations while traveling to any destination. Some vaccines may also be required for travel.

    Routine vaccines
    Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot.

    get_vaccinated hygiene
    Most travelers

    Get travel vaccines and medicines because there is a risk of these diseases in the country you are visiting.

    Hepatitis A
    CDC recommends this vaccine because you can get hepatitis A through contaminated food or water in South Africa, regardless of where you are eating or staying.

    get_vaccinated eat_drink
    Typhoid
    You can get typhoid through contaminated food or water in South Africa. CDC recommends this vaccine for most travelers, especially if you are staying with friends or relatives, visiting smaller cities or rural areas, or if you are an adventurous eater.

    get_vaccinated eat_drink
    Some travelers

    Ask your doctor what vaccines and medicines you need based on where you are going, how long you are staying, what you will be doing, and if you are traveling from a country other than the US.

    Hepatitis B
    You can get hepatitis B through sexual contact, contaminated needles, and blood products, so CDC recommends this vaccine if you might have sex with a new partner, get a tattoo or piercing, or have any medical procedures.

    get_vaccinated avoid_body_fluids avoid-non-sterile-equipment
    Malaria
    When traveling in South Africa, you should avoid mosquito bites to prevent malaria. You may need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent malaria, depending on your travel plans, such as where you are going, when you are traveling, and if you are spending a lot of time outdoors or sleeping outside. Talk to your doctor about how you can prevent malaria while traveling. For more information on malaria in South Africa, see malaria in South Africa.

    antimalarial_meds avoid_insects
    Rabies
    Rabies can be found in dogs, bats, and other mammals in South Africa, so CDC recommends this vaccine for the following groups:

    Travelers involved in outdoor and other activities (such as camping, hiking, biking, adventure travel, and caving) that put them at risk for animal bites.
    People who will be working with or around animals (such as veterinarians, wildlife professionals, and researchers).
    People who are taking long trips or moving to South Africa
    Children, because they tend to play with animals, might not report bites, and are more likely to have animal bites on their head and neck.
    get_vaccinated animals hygiene
    Yellow Fever
    There is no risk of yellow fever in South Africa. The government of South Africa requires proof of yellow fever vaccination only if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. This does not include the US. If you are traveling from a country other than the US, check this list to see if you may be required to get the yellow fever vaccine: Countries with risk of yellow fever virus (YFV) transmission.

    For more information on recommendations and requirements, see yellow fever recommendations and requirements for South Africa. Your doctor can help you decide if this vaccine is right for you based on your travel plans.

    I think I'm going to need a jab if I meet someone from South Africa :eek::eek: that's a lot of stuff :o:eek::o[/QUOTE]

    I've never had a single one of the above list when travelling to South Africa, and neither has anyone else I know. We South Africans must be made of really strong stuff ;)
