Check with your local travel clinic or GP, but current recommendations are as follows;

Recommended- Polio, Hepatitis A, Typhoid.

Consider - Diphtheria, TB & Hepatitis B, for longer stays in more rural areas and depending on your lifestyle.

Malaria-(p. vivax) - anly needed for rural areas - use either chloroquine or proguanil.
