Did you get extra vaccinations for Asia ABDs?

[CrazyZeus1]

We have booked the East Asia trip for January 2016, and I'm trying to figure out if it's necessary to get the vaccinations recommended by the CDC for travel to *some* parts of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

Hep A & Typhoid are the ones recommended for the majority of travelers, and there are some recommended for "some" travelers. And then there's anti-malarial meds to consider.

Am I being WAY too over cautious about this? Our travel agent called ABD about my question, and Disney doesn't name any that they recommend in particular--so I'm torn! We don't like to extra-medicate if it's not needed and I'm torn.

Any help?

FWIW, my son and I did not get any extra vaccines nor take anti-malarial meds for our SE Asia trip.

You'll have a great trip. I think it's still my favorite ABD.
