Where Can I Find Reliable Information of Which Vaccinations I Will Need to Travel Through...?
Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Bangladesh, and India? I was born in and have lived in Canada my whole life.

I guess you need to be careful of water and mosquitoes in all these countries and try to eat fresh. I went couple of these countries. I did not need any vaccination. Use mosquito net and drink good brand bottled water or boiled water. Good luck

I recommend netdoctor.co.uk, but from experience the standard set of travel vaccines that everyone should have, and you should definitely have for these places, are: typhoid diphtheria polio hep A whooping cough measles you may have had these as a kid but check up - get to the doctor quick as the jabs take time to work. you also need malaria tablets for Laos, Cambodia and parts of Thailand - that's a whole subject in itself so ask the doctor. And you need to take precautions against dengue for which there is no vaccine or treatment, so you need plenty of insect repellent (wear it 24/7, the dengue mosquito bites during the day and the other types at night) and suitable cover up clothing. and finally, travel insurance which includes medevac home. happy travels. :-)
