Allow yourself time to figure this part out. If your travel requires vaccinations, or they are recommended, handle this part of your trip early. It is your responsibility to know what is formally required and what is suggested for the countries you are entering, and these requirements can change anytime without notice. For example, when I take people to Tanzania, generally yellow fever shots are all that one must have.

If you go to a travel clinic they may offer you a multitude of options. You have to determine your comfort level and act accordingly. Many people would always rather be safe than sorry, decreasing the chance of illness. If you are allergic to a medication, see your doctor, and investigate whether or not there can be any exceptions made.
