If you say you got hives after taking penicillin, they're idiots if they try to force you to take the shot, for numerous reasons..
Its whatever though.. its a pretty hefty im shot straight to the glut... but if you can take the shot, just man up and do it. Don't try to cheat the system at RTC just to get out of a little pain, it creates a lot of extra work for the already stressed medical staff there.
As for this Gamma globulin stuff I don't know where that's coming from... that's for allergies and hepatitis.. the 1.2 million units of PCN you get administered at great lakes is for prophylaxis.
if youre feeling really brave you can ask for 2 shots, that's enough to cure syphilis! Oh the possibilities...
