I had the same before going to India, circa 2012/13. A) because I was going to be working there, and B) on “doctors orders”. I don’t think the Indian government gave a shit, though my “employer” might have (I was teaching)…
But honestly, it’s more just a “person from developed country going to undeveloped shithole” thing, I think…
So anyway, you’re right, and I get it. And I also understand at least some of his pain and suffering, in those two weeks or so…
Worst was rabies (know if he had to have that?), which, much like coof coof and also malaria, didn’t ACTUALLY prevent you from dying. It just bought you more time to get to the hospital, lol. But it also massively fucked you up, and left a big purple blister on your arm, for days… I think I had to have two shots of that. Maybe even three! Was fucking dementedly awful. And painful. Hence… I fucking hate needles, lol.
I really don't know if he had a rabies shot. He went to India a couple times, as well as elsewhere in Africa, South America, etc. Lots of third world traveling. I'm sure it was on the menu at some point.
