Travel vaccinations

Hi everyone,

This is a question for foreigners living in Japan or people who have traveled in Japan.

Did you get any vaccinations before leaving?

I never thought of it and I'm leaving in two weeks which doesn't really give me time to get all the shots for Hepatitis
but I might be able to get one shot before I leave.

Anyway, I want to travel around Japan in the inaka and I wonder if it's best. I'm just so leery of vaccinations cause of all the crap in them, etc.

Personal experience?

You don't need anything for Japan unless you're coming in from someplace that has something that Japan doesn't want. For Japan itself, just a standard tetanus booster is sometimes recommended, as for anywhere. If you don't like vaccinations, try the real diseases sometime.
