I got the tetanous (or whatever it's called) and diphtheria so far - I'm gonna get the Hep. A before I go as well.

Yes l got all those shots done in 2000, but was surprised when l had a blood test done after my recent trip to LOS, and my Doctor said l was not covered for Hep B.....and would never be able to be......must say it's a bit of a concern, even though l use condoms (had 2 break last trip though)
