Need Vaccines to Travel?

If you have recently booked a holiday abroad, chances you are considering if you and your family should prepare yourselves by getting vaccines. Each country has various risks and recommendations for the vaccines that may be helpful. For example, if you are going to Mexico, the following vaccines are highly recommended Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Diphtheria, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Rabies, and the following are not required by suggested, Meningococcal Meningitis, Cholera, Yellow Fever, Tick-borne encephalitis and Japanese B Encephalitis.
It's also suggested to all travelers to have Polio and Tetanus vaccines updated when traveling. This is what the current Western medical opinion suggests for travelers, however, they are not necessities and in fact, it may be better for a traveler to save him or herself from the potential negative side effects (not to mention the cost) of vaccines and just use common sense to stay out of risk. This would be not drinking any water unless it has been boiled or comes from an unopened bottle, always washing fruit and vegetables well and not eating them raw, and protecting yourself from mosquitoes.
