I just got back from our travel clinic (here in Canada) and this is what I got.
* Hep A (you can get this through contaminated food/water)
* Hep B (not really necessary in less you are going to be sexually active with unknown partners or there is a chance you will come in direct contact with blood products) In my case, I test patient's blood glucose levels at work, so I went for the Hep A&B combo shot (Twinrix). This was actually cheaper too.
* Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio (all in one shot!) which is a must. This one was free from the health clinic.
And that's all. Just be smart and use lots of insect repellant, containing a minimum of 30% DEET. Drink Bottled water only, etc, etc
Have Fun.
