Maybe Malaria and Hep A. But I am not 100% sure.

Yeah a communism vaccination.

You want Hep. A. That's recommended by the CDC. No one here gets Hep. A vaccination (we get Hep. B here), so yea.. there's one you should definitely get. That's all.

Oh maybe Malaria, but I thought we get that by default here.

oh yeah, many asians have hep b antigen (A molecule whose shape triggers the production of antibodies or immunoglobulins that will bind to the antigen. A foreign substance capable of triggering an immune response in an organism.) as well as antigen for TB (tuberculosis, A bacterial infection affecting primarily the lungs, more common in urban areas, treatable with antibiotics,though resistant strains are appearing.
