I'll be traveling out of the country to do work in Haiti of all places. Next week we will be getting different shots etc. for travel. Is there any of these shots I should be wary of. I'll be startining treatment when I get back in Sept. I'm not sure what shots they will be giving us.

You may want to make sure that you've gotten Hep A and Hep B shots to avoid the possibility of a co-infection. Although my doc required me to wait 6 months before final shot in each series could be given.

I travel all over the place and the only shots I got were hep a and b.it is a series of shots called twinrex and they give them to you in stages not all at once that is how my doctors gave it to me.Slow

Hep B shots are on the list but they require a series of shots so if you are going in Sept. you won't have time to do them all and complete the series before you leave.
Here is a list of the shots recommended for travel to Haiti
