Many years ago, I had a series of three typhoid shots. Within a half
hour of the first one, my arm blew up like a balloon, and my blood
pressure dropped. The second one, a week later, wasn't quite that bad.
The third one was tolerable.
It was a combination of typhoid, paratyphoid, and typhus vaccines, IIRC.
I hope they've improved since then.
