I have to go and get jabs for equitorial guinea tomorrow - including some "live" jab

I have not got transport at the moment as i put the van in for service at weekend.

My mates who have had it say there is no way ill be able to cycle home

anyone had these jabs ? chances of riding 6 miles across town afterwards ?

other wise i have the pleasure of taking 3 buses and waiting for 20 mins at the bus station in the middle with "the locals"

Well I don't know how many jabs you're having but many years ago I got five to go to Panama and then went to the gym later that day. Granted I wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders but I didn't have any serious problems. Unless you have a serious reaction, in which case cycling will be the least of your problems, I doubt you'll have too many problems. To be honest I'd be more concerned with the snow that's been forecast for tomorrow, you are still in Aberdeen aren't you?

No matter what you get you should be fine... Even the worst ones don't usually make themselves a nuisance until later... I think one of my Hep jabs was pretty awful for a few days (felt like I'd had my arm thrashed by an East German female shotputter) but not until about 12 hours later...
