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:

Rabies

A vaccine for malaria? Or a drug that prevents infections otherwise?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a vaccine.
Malaria, and the fight against malaria, is a particular concern of mine.
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.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your trip - I'll RSS this and will be blogging about Taiwan when I leave in August.
Let those vaccines keep you in great health
