Got Your Shots?

CDC Recommendations: Interesting, Malaria which is present throughout the country, is not found at the temple complex at Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, or around Lake Tonle Sap. Always recommended are: being up to date on your measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, and poliovirus vaccine. Great to have your Hepatitis A & B series. Typhoid is highly recommended. Japanese encephalitis and rabies are optional but I suggest you ask your travel physician.
