What immunizations are recommended or necessary for Cambodia?

Accepted answer

No vaccinations are required for Cambodia. For recommended ones you need to ask your doctor to make sure your current vaccinations are up-to-date and boosting is not needed. Especially make sure your tetanus is up-to-date (in USA you usually get it as part of diphtheria TDaP, but in your country it may be different), as if you're hiking in remote areas, this is a big concern. Note that you can die from tetanus, this is not a joke.

Another one I'd recommend is a flu shot. You'd be flying in a plane, walking in airports and staying in lines full of people, and some of them will be sick.

Also consider rabies vaccine if you think you might get into contact with wild animals.

Regarding your plan to save money and do them in BKK: most shots require time to develop immunity (2+ weeks for a flu shot); some require multiple shots (HepAB, HPV), so keep this in mind when planning your schedule.
