Vaccinations
Plan ahead for getting your vaccinations; some of them require more than one injection over a period of
time, while others should not be given together.
Record all vaccinations on an International Certificate of Vaccination, available from your doctor. It is a
good idea to carry this as proof of your vaccinations when travelling in Cambodia.
