The only shot I remember was the PITA Gamma-Globulin shots. Which I think was 500CC in each cheek, chilled to -20C, prior to deployment, at least that what they felt like

BUT here is my shot record, it may have data a doctor can read :]

While in-country we took pills weekly?? Chemoprophylaxis (chloroquine phosphate, 500 mg and primaquine phosphate, 79 mg) ??
