After that, a group was called up for orientation plus counseling. At counseling, there is nothing much there. The whole group gets into a room, sits and the doc who took you through orientation starts to explain to you what they are going to do, the procedures that is. Then you are given a form to sign which entails that you have understood everything.

She lift the underpant looked down there, turned the "thing" sideways then she told me to sit up, checks the back, stand up, she checks back downward mpaka back there then she told me to dress up.
Went nxt to her desk, checked the xray pic again then she said you are healthy. Ticks the vaccines I should take then hands over the Xray CD.
Went down and took the shorts, to me they weren't painful at all. but again it depends with an individual. Was given a certificate at the vaccination room of all the vaccines I've taken.
