Vaccines for S.E Asia.
 

Wondering if anyone can give me some quick advice/answers as to where and what vaccines are needed for S.E Asia travel spots.

I'll be going to Thailand/Malaysia/Indonesia and Cambodia. What are some shots that are a 'must' before going? I understand some shots require at least a month to kick in, so I am hoping to do it by this week.

Thanks


Does SFU/UBC cover any of these shots?

+1, would like to know. im heading to vietname, cambodia and thailand this summer!

any travel clinic will do
i believe your student insurance cover partial costs of the shots...otherwise they are in the $300+ range

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B (Usually taken in high school)

Tetanus and Measles are also highly recommend (these 2 are usually free)
-> Tetanus is good for 10 years. Often given by doctors if you had large cuts and required stitching in the past.

Typhoid Fever is also recommended for rural areas. Such as Cambodia you'll be travelling to.

Everyone's cases is different depending on the exact location you're going, and your own personal health condition. Best to consult a travel clinic or your family doctor for the most accurate information.

Vaccines :fuckthatshit:

just go to your doc.

i got Hep A, B and typhoid or something.

typhoid and yellow fever for sure. if you want to be safe, start popping malaria pills as well as parts of cambodia and thailand have the killer mosquitos

Going to the Philippines in about a week. Already done the Twinrex HEP A+B and Typhoid. Doctor said that should be good enought..but like someone said its all up to you.

Travel clinics know about it all, make sure u go early enough before your trip though to let the vaccinations set in ur immune system. better to let them affect you (make you sick) here than in another country.

Going to Vietnam and Cambodia, maybe Thailand at the end of next month, just got my Hep A and Typhoid vaccine last week :concentrate:

See a travel doctor.
