Southeast Asia and vaccines
 
Looking for advice on vaccines and medicine prep for a 4 month trip to Southeast Asia with my family (including children age 6 and 8 ). Countries will likely be Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia. A travel pharmacist emphasized the Japanese encephalitis vaccine as being important for long term travel. They also mentioned the risk of malaria! I’m a stress case because I know malaria pills are hard on bodies and the JE vaccine is crazy expensive for something that is rare. I’d love advice and opinions of other travellers with kids or people with insight on the topic. I want to have a care free trip and do not want to overload my boys little bodies of not necessary. As of now we will all be sure to have Hep A, Typhoid, Tetnus. Any wisdom welcome!
