I went to Mid Main's travel clinic before I went on my trip to Asia. I did the consult with them and they provided a report on specifics of what immunizations to get.

As CivicBlues mentioned, there's a few standard ones. If you're not sure, I'd advise going to the travel clinic and doing the consult with them. I believe it was about $50 or so for the consult, and then whatever shots you're going to get on top of that. If you can get the DIN # for the vaccines they administer, you can usually check to see if your extended medical covers it or not on their website.

Note that some of these vaccines require multiple doses to be fully immunized (like Japanese Encephalitis which I think was 2 doses a month apart) so plan accordingly. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but when I was travelling in March, there was a worldwide shortage of the Yellow Fever vaccine and some clinics may not have them in stock.
