How about shots that should be updated before we go?
Also, any luck on a non chemical repellant for the mosquitoe? Always looking for an alternative to chemicals.
Thanks.

Hey Hoov- Hep A and B are recommended, in US and especially when traveling int'l. There's a whole list on CDC, but since it's gov't site it's not very friendly. We talked to our Dr. and he recommended a travel specialist- they'll go over the specific area and activities, make suggestions, then you can choose. If you go this route get ready- shots are pricey, $50-150 each! But most last for 3-5 years, so I think of it as another type of 'insurance.' Best tip is avoid contamination- wash hands, eat smart (clean water, well cooked foods at established places), and avoid bugs. Underwater is a pretty safe place to be!
