There it is -- 8 days and I'll be vaccinated against typhoid. There is an injection but while most people end up protected against the illness, they may still be a carrier. Doesn't sound very nice to me: "Hey, I'm good. You're sick? Sorry."
You take a dose every other day and if you can keep it in your system for at least 2 hours without vomiting, and do that for at least 3 doses, you're covered. I can see why people opt for a shot. So far so good today though the stomach is off a bit.
This isn't to protect me from the great supposed horrors of Costa Rica but from other travelers who may bring a bug with them from an entirely different country.
