Anyone getting any jabs for the eclipse?

Yes.

(I mean the people going to Turkey,

We're going to Libya with Explorers so you might need different jabs.

Given that we'll be based on a ship and given lunchboxes for our
excursions off it, this might be overkill.

Apart from the typhoid, the Hep A, Polio, Diphtheria and Tetnus
protection could be useful elsewhere and even in Europe.


B***** H**** ! :-)

I'm up to date with tetanus but it never occurred to me I might need the
other shots! Are you sure?

If you're up-to-date with tetanus, you won't get the diphtheria (all
tetanus boosters now have diphtheria mixed in) and I think the polio is
mixed with the other two (I'm booked for this next week)

My boyfriend went to Morrocco 3 years ago, and had his Tetanus/Diptheria
boosted then, so he doesn't need to go back for these like I do.

I think Explorers did give some health advice, either in the brochure or
in their mailings and recommended Hep A (mebbe with Typhoid)

Another question. This is my first Mediterranean cruise. What are the
prospects for other astronomical observations - green flash, zodiacal
light etc.?

I have no idea.
I've not cruised at all before and boyfriend is the serious astronomer...
