do you people actually get vaccinated before travelling to asia?
I've been like 7 times to sea and ea. Never got any jabs but I'm lazy. Met someone who had a friend who died of Japanese encephilitis tho
>>2841385>do you people actually get vaccinated before travelling to asia?yes(outside of covid and some schizo takes)most vaccines typically have next to zero serious side effects if you're young and healthyand protect you almost 100% securelyit's not even only about not dyingjust getting sick lessgot>Hep A / B>Japanese encephalitis>yellow fever>Chikungunyaand the standard onesplus>rabiesthat one is kinda special because it doesn't protect you full, only gives you more time to get to an hospital to get more shotsstill important if you're hiking days from infrastructurebecause without it, you're a dead man walking within 72h or so
This thread spooked me. I'm considering going to a travel clinic now.
>>2841385I had to get a typhoid vaccine and it was a live variant I took as pills and that shit damn near killed me on the third day. I called my doctor all upset and he just laughed and said the real thing would've killed me.
>>2841475Update: I got spooked into getting my Japanese Encephalitis vaccine.
>>2841515>called my doctor all upset and he just laughed and said the real thing would've killed mei mean he's probably not wrong>typhoid vaccinenot sure if you knewbut the typhoid vaccine has the very nice "side effect">prevents most "Travelers Diarrhea"!normally I get the shits every time I travel outside of Europe, not bad, just 1-2days 5x/day liquid shitstook the typhoid vaccine twice so farand both times, the following ~12months, I traveled diarrhea free, even when gorging on street food
>>2841422This anon knows whats up. I had a rabies scare, and it's the worst thing ever.
>>2841385I got Hep A/B and DTP vaccine (ironically 2 months after there was a small epidemic of Pertussis in my region, even some of my family got it).>>2841774>but the typhoid vaccine has the very nice "side effect"The less nice side effect is that it's fucking expensive and supposedly doesn't last all too long, so I'm not gonna bother unless my yearly plans include spending a total of a month in India or Africa or something. I never get diarrhea when travelling, even when eating street food while I have literal colitis in remission.I'm skeptical about japanese encephalitis vaccine, worst case I'll just die which is a net positive anyway. And I'm crazy paranoid about mosquitoes prevention (just hate being bitten), so that vector is unlikely anyway.
>>2841781>it's fucking expensivedoesn't your health insurance cover this?mine did by default, but often times you just gotta ask>and supposedly doesn't last all too longit's most effective 1-3month after you took itand after ~3years you lost *most* of the protection, how much is left depends on the person>skeptical about japanese encephalitis vaccineif it's the priceyou can get it in most of Asia for really cheap in walk in clinicsno need to buy it at home>crazy paranoid about mosquitoes preventionthat helps, but the problem is that you only have to miss once...>worst case I'll just die which is a net positiveit's not a nice death thoughand if you get symptomsthere's only a 25%? or so chance you diemuch higher is your chance of neurological defectswhich is a lot more uncomfortable than dying...
>>2841789>doesn't your health insurance cover this?nope, if it did I'd get every single rare disease vax offered>if it's the price>you can get it in most of Asia for really cheap in walk in clinics>no need to buy it at homeHoly shit it's real, it's so fucking cheap in Asia I might grab it just for the experience alone (protection being a side benefit). Thanks for the tip, anon.
if it's third world asia then yeah, 100% I doif it's just japan then no
No, I don't vaccinate like the goycattle do.>>2841776Suicide is always an option, anon. Killing yourself while healthy is for mentally weak retards, but if you're struck down with debilitating terminal illness like rabies, just lay down in front of a train.
>>2841949>i rather die than take a harmless vaccineyeah... you belong here
>>2841949>dude just kys instead of getting a vaccineare you literally insane
>>2841385yeah, hep A, B and Typhoid. Don't mess around in third world shit holes without shots.
>>2841385Do people actually avoid dodgy street food vendors in asia? Do people avoid getting bitten by wild animals in asia? Do people at least wear condoms when they fuck whores in asia?Yes, you fucking muppet
Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Diptheria/Tetanus/PolioWhen I last got jabbed the lady said Japanese Encephalitis vaccine isn't really necessary unless you'll be spending significant amounts of time on pig or bird farms
>>2841950>>2842059Think carefully, where the fuck you are....Have some people already fucking forgotten the last 5 years?
>>2842203Hello its current year???!?!?!?!?!?!
>>2842303He means that antivax virgins have been sperging out for 5 years now about how vaccines will kill everyone in two more weeks.
