In the galactic federation, medical safety is a important part of life. Having the right shots is a definite factor when determining if one will survive going to a planet. And several planets have a requirement to receive a shot in order to even go to it. However the vaccines that are required to go to different planets often have a side effect. The side effect for the vaccine required to venture to SR388 is already known and before even acquiring it, the person receiving it must sign paperwork noting that they accept and acknowledge the known mutations... the same is required for every shot in the galaxy.


VACCINES

Metroid DNA Vaccine- This vaccine is required to even venture into the SR388 system now. The federation has since continued it's metroid revival project under closed doors and in secret. Though after new colonies of metroids were discovered, the supply of DNA has not dwindled. The known side effect of the vaccine are extreme weakness to cold and metroid mutations. It is speculated that if the mutations continue on a solid track that Test Subject 001 may start feeding on life energy in the near future. All side effects of this vaccine are as follows:
-Extreme weakness to cold
-Talons growing on the forearm similar to those found on metroids.
-Possible contentious mutation of unknown degree.

Federation Viral Immunity Vaccine- All members of the Federation receive this vaccine in order to deal with viruses and sicknesses of other races. This vaccine has a single known side effect of spontaneous blurred vision on random occasions. The blurred vision lasts for roughly 30 seconds and is described as a tolerable side effect considering the alternative

Pro-mutagen Vaccine- A vaccine used by the Space Pirates to allow their bodies to mutate more and be more acceptive of genetic alteration. Known side effects are noted at extreme, semi-controlled mutation.

Chozo DNA Vaccine- The only known recepiant of this is Samus Aran. It's side effects are largely unknown. It is known that the Chozo gave out this vaccine to many races's heros to allow them to be compatable with morph ball technology.

Metabolism Alteration Vaccine- A vaccine to genetically alter a person's metabolism, increasing it several fold. The side effect of this are a drastically increased thirst and hunger. The known benefits of this are the ability to heal quicker from injury. Testing of this vaccine on various races showed the same results. However, one effect was noted rather quickly. The vaccine causes the metabolism to consume the person's own fat to produce energy for the body. Several test subjects lost over 40lbs in the first day and were hospitalized. Pills are needed to keep the alteration in check. It is speculated that a person who has received this vaccine is capable of starving to death in a 4th of the time it takes for a standard person of their race to starve.
