What vaccines do I need? US to Philippines

[Dustin and Janen 86]

Hello,

I'm planning to vist my gf in the Philippines at the end of November and need to know what vaccines I need or should get.

I'm 25 years old, if that matters. I'll be traveling to Manila and Boracay.

Thanks

Go to your doctor or health clinic they know which ones you will need.

I got three different shots if I remember right, one was in two stages.

I didn't get any..i've been there 4 times and had no problems. Just practice good hygiene and you will be fine.

I have been there 7 times since 2003 and never had any problems. Just wash your hands, only drink bottle water, don't get ice in your drinks. I will be there again November 28th. Where you staying.

Just don't trust the water unless it's used for cooking. Get the bottle water and never put ice on it, defeats the purpose.

Thanks for the advise!

I think I'll still talk with my doc and see what they recommend, but I'm not so worried about it now. My coworkers had me worried haha.
