Can confirm a few jabs before deployment (yellow fever, anthrax 1 and some others I can't remember), more anthrax (2&3) and NAPS while there - along with the the usual combipens. Also issued with anti-malarial tablets - not taken. The combipens were probably the most dangerous - there were at least a couple of atropine poisoning events!
