I agree with Sergio. I wouldn't be filling my body with all that stuff. I went to Vietnam in 2003 and did not have any vaccinations...in fact in the last few years I have been to Malaysia twice, Thailand twice, Singapore twice, Bali 6 times, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Israel, Italy, Hawaii, etc. and have never been vaccinated against anything and I always eat at the street stalls, markets, etc,brush teeth in tap water and generally do everything they tell you not to do and have never been sick. I think by exposing yourself you build up immunity. Hubby used to be paranoid about catching anything....he followed all the rules, no ice, brush teeth with bottled water, ate only in touristy restaurants etc,etc... telling me I was crazy and guess what? He always got sick until he stated doing what I do!!!
