    What is the recommended vaccines people get for going there?

    I have:

    Hepatitis A + B
    Tetanus

    what other ones do I need to go to SEA?

    I've read that I should get a tyhpus shot, as well as rabies.

    There have been many discussions on this, including one for the last day or two. Check out this one: http://www.travelfish.org/board/post/vietnam/11831_jabs-for-traveling-vietnam - but search the forum for many others.

    There are various opinions on whether you should get the whole suite, or none at all. My suggestion: read the other discussions, educate yourself from other sources such as the Travel Doctor and WHO websites, then decide what is best for you.

    As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do.
