MORE JABS?

I went to the Doc who gave me tetanus, polio, hep A and typhoid injection for travelling around Mexico, Guatemela and Costa Rica.
My friend now thinks we need diptheria and cholera? Does anyone know if this is right - the doc did look it up in some book or other....

   Save your rear..you already have far more than most get.
   Unless you are going to an area where there is an active
   cholera epidemic you are fine. Same for diptheria. Tetanus,
   hep A and malaria pills are the 3 important. Even polio is
   pretty much gone.

   I'm a Canadian Paramedic with a roomate who is a nurse from
   Mexico) I have not been to Central or South America yet but
   am going in a few months. One thing we know from all our
   medical experience is it's always best to get them. The way
   I'm looking at it is that what if something does happen,
   Then what? All these things are not totally gone and I don't
   want to risk death to save a little pric and maybe a few
   bucks.
