Vaccines


I didn't need any vaccines for my trip to Japan but, my doctor recommended Hep. A, Malaria and Typhoid for my trip to Costa Rica.

I just checked the CDC's list of recommended vaccines for Senegal and it seems to be a bit longer. I'll check with my doctor and get whatever she recommends.

Here's the CDC list:
Yellow Fever
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Typhoid
Rabies
Malaria

  1. A vaccine for malaria? Or a drug that prevents infections otherwise?

    I didn't know there was a vaccine.

    Malaria, and the fight against malaria, is a particular concern of mine.

  2. I'm checking into this myself as I'll be soon teaching English in Taiwan. I don't think I'll have to get anything, though I'm somewhat concerned about some of the tropical diseases that a kid from Ohio wouldn't see.

    Good luck with your trip - I'll RSS this and will be blogging about Taiwan when I leave in August.
