YES! I almost left without getting vaccines/immunizations and I am extremely happy that I changed my mind. Trust me, you DO NOT want to constantly be thinking about getting sick, or even worse, actually getting sick. PLUS, some countries won't you in if you don't have proof of certain vaccinations.
Which Vaccines/Immunizations Do I Need?
Your health is the most important thing when you're traveling. That being said, how many/which vaccines you'll need

Where To Get Vaccinations:
Now that you've read about the countries that you'll be traveling to, you can move on to finding out where to get vaccinated. If you have a healthcare provider or previous doctor, I recommend calling their offices and asking if they provide travel vaccinations. If you don't like me, you can google "travel clinics" in your area, often you will find a specific travel clinic near you. These can sometimes be more costly than free clinics (what I used), however they are safer and cleaner (especially when getting stuck with needles).
