Report
I went to this clinic in order to get advice on vaccination requirements for the countries we were visiting on a cruise. The nurse advised that we didn't require any specific vaccinations, however should get a polio shot as the Government of Canada was pushing this again. We did. A week later, we were advised by our cruise company that one of the countries we were going to visit required a Yellow Fever vaccination. We went back to the clinic to get this shot.
The nurse gave me the shot, which stung very badly. Two days later I could not manage the pain in my arm, which was seizing and locking
