Today, Emmi was a mostly-willing guinea pig to try out our new pediatrician. The doc seems really great, and is happy for us that we're adopting, and is excited to meet Mei Mei when we get her home. Of course China expects us to have a pediatrician ready for her. Poor little tyke, she'll probably be meeting the doc very soon after arriving.
Unfortunately for Emmi, she got poked, prodded & queried up one side and down the other - so to speak, and topped off the visit with 2 vaccinations! Not a happy guinea pig.
Vaccinations aren't required to travel to China, but according to the CDC, Hep A & B are prevalent in Asia. Respiratory infections seem to be quite common as well, so we'd rather be a little cautious. Maybe up to 2 more shots for Em. Oh, and don't mention this to Allie, Jenna or Doug - they don't know about the vaccinations yet! (jk, of course they'll see it here!)
