More Points to consider:

Vaccinations are not always compulsory. Yellow fever is compulsory when travelling to a rainforest area between 0° and 12° latitude, or to Africa .

A good protection is to take homeopathic constitutional treatment before travelling. Take the herbal remedy of Echinacea, or take Colloidal silver before and during travel.

Many countries have contaminated water, make sure to clean your teeth in bottled water. Be careful to check that any ice in drinks has been made from bottled water, also check how the salad has been washed. If in doubt DON'T EAT IT!

Homeopathic profilactics are available eg Hepitits, Diptherinum, Cholera, Typhoid, Maleria, Polio.
Anti-Maleria also take Terebinth 30 daily. Also take Caladium 30 daily, it will make you less attractive to insects!

All the above should be taken in ascending potencies, 200, 1M 10M 24 hours apart. One 30C weekly while abroad.
