5) A place that looks like Zanzibar but doesn't require mega doses of shots
You only need Yellow Fever I think and then malaria pills. If you plan to be living with the locals, you would need rabies series ( I have this - haha). All the rest are shots you should already have (childhood immunizations)
I'm afraid of the malaria pills.
You may have had the childhood immunizations but you also have to have boosters 6 weeks before you leave. When I went to India, I had 3 different series of shots. Total of 19 shots.
The malaria pills weren't terrible, but they weren't great. In my mind, there are so many places to visit in this world that I will go to the countries that are safer (health-wise) before I go back to a third world country.

oh yeah I forgot I had to get boosters. The reason I didn't go to Africa (as planned) was the malaria pills. I had a HORRIBLE reaction to them I think I had a total of like 6 shots (Yellow fever, rabies series (3) and maybe 2 boosters)
