Immunizations for Morocco

[katharina]

The State Department doesn't require travelers to Morocco to have any shots
like for some places, but it's a good idea to make sure you're immunized against
tetanus and polio (same as for many other destinations).  If you really want to
be safer, think about getting a Hep A vaccination and probably a typhoid shot,
too.  (Well, the vaccination to *prevent* it, I mean!)

You're right they are only recommended but I know that I am getting whatever the state deems recommended. I thought I heard that Typhoid what one that is recommended also?

I know for sure I would get whatever is recomended. I don't want to take any chances. I am gopmg there to enjoy myself not to worry about what I might catch.

[tater03]

I hear you. I plan on getting whatever the CDC recommends also. I would just rather be safe than sorry.

Absolutely... it would take just one brush with any of these diseases and a traveler
would wish they'd taken the time to get the shot (or pill or whatever the vaccine
happens to be for any given health risk).

Wow, I am finding things that I have completely forgotten about such as immunizations. Thanks

How about malaria? Don't you need a vaccination for that in Mororcco?

[tater03]

Yes, if I remember right you should get a vaccination for Malaria especially since it is so prevelent in Africa.

[riskey58]

I am sure there is a vacination for Malaria. With it so wide spread over there I am sure it is a mist.

Does anyone happen to know where I can find an online map of the cases reported in Africa of Malaria? I know I seen on somewhere while looking into this but for the life of me I cannot find it now. I thought someone on here might have run across it? thanks
