How necessary is the hepatitis A vaccine when visiting Peru?

 

A HIV vaccine is more important if you're planning of ******* bitches.....or dudes.

 

Do you plan on eating or drinking anything while there?

 

I have my reasons for not getting it, which I don't want to get into.

 

Being in the military, i have been vaccinated against things i haven't heard of, just do it.

 

+1, When I drew my orders for Germany I ended up getting like 12 Germany specific vaccinations...wtf is that about?

 

Some people don't like injecting their bodies full of foreign substances? Just a guess..

 

When we went to Mexico to visit my wife's family 2 yrs ago one of her cousins got it. Luckily he was the only one, but after that scare we got vaccinated since we go every year.

 

Every per son I know from Peru is a dirty ************.

 

My mother is from Peru.

 

Food is freakin fantastic though. Absolutely LOVE Peruvian food.

I'd get all the recommended vaccines.

Typhoid

Yellow fever

haha isnt that the truth! Dont be a *****, and just get the shot. At least you are protected against something. It seems everytime I am NEAR the damn clinic at Travis, they try and find something to inject into me...


Are you deploying? No? Well have some Typhoid anyways. And maybe another TB along with a side of sdhfskhjfjkdf

 

Gotta love the Army and their vaccines, I once got two vaccines for the same thing at the same time...when asked why, the "nurse" told me the second one was actually a vaccine preventing me from being fucked up by the first.....I was quite comfortable with the whole ordeal as you can imagine

 

When Uncle Sam wants to stick you, you really cant say anything.
