We were never asked for our yellow card shot record. Did we really need the shots? Probably not, but we were not willing to take the risk. We stopped taking the malaria medication about halfway through the trip. It was extremely dusty from lack of rain and we saw no mosquitoes. We have been home 2 weeks and have been fine. I usually get an upper respiratory infection after a trip ( I think from the planes)....knock on wood...I am fine. I figure...we have the shots now for the future trips...so it is all good.
