Hashimoto’s and Travel Shots

Hello everyone. I had asked about travel shots a while ago. Now I have an appointment to get the shots in two days. The shots are, malaria, hepatitis B, yellow fever and typhoid. I am so nervous because I don’t want to react and become unwell because of my thyroid disease (autoimmunity). Any suggestions or experiences will be appreciated. Thank you all.

I have Hashi's and have had a whole raft of vaccinations and their boosters due to "exotic place" travels!

Felt pretty grotty after a yellow fever jab but that's fairly common with anybody and just had a kip for a few hours until the wooziness finished, ditto with a rabies jab but all the others were fine.

Malaria tablet protocol was fine too, just mentioned that I was hypo-t to the pharmacist.

Your welcome! Hope all goes well and just have a bit of lie down if you feel a bit wonky.
