Vaccinations for Travel
List of vaccinations MAYBE you want before you travel abroad for vacation.
Generally any Doctor will give you something for any fear you have, but in reality the only vaccination that may be needed for travel is the yellow fever vaccination. There are many countries that require you to carry a yellow fever vaccination card to enter the country. There are few now that are requiring you to prove you do not have AIDSs.
As normal, it is best to talk with a Doctor, but this link is maybe a better place to start:
