Ish,

Back when I was in the Peace Corps (long time ago) we used to get more needles than I care to remember. Every 4 months. The one I hated was typhoid - didn't hurt going in, but about an hour later your arm would be painfully paralyzed, which would last around a day. Punching shoulders would definitely have been a mistake. They used to give us these huge gamma globulin shots for hepatitis, stick it in the butt and you feel the lump down there for a while.

Two years of that was enough. Lived in the tropics ever since, but never get shots. Never got any of the diseases, either.
