[edit] Inoculations '09
- Serbia:
The CDC suggests Hep A/B and Typhoid. Easy as pie!
- Bulgaria:
The same drill: Hep A/B and Typhoid.
- Azerbaijan:
The CDC recommends vaccination for Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, and Rabies depending on how you spend your leisure time in the country (feeding rabid dogs, I suppose?). Luckily, we're in the clear here from our efforts last year. Apparently we should also be on the watch for Malaria, though this is in limited regions that we won't visit. Just to spice things up, there is always the possibility of Bird Flu to keep us sufficiently paranoid.
- Georgia:
Same as for Azerbaijan - the CDC suggests Hep A/B, Typhoid, and Rabies. If only there were a vaccine for Russians.
- Turkey:
The same game! Hep A/B, Typhoid, and Rabies.
