neither me or my husband did and we are fine. I know ppl who have had them and gotten sick and its from the vaccination itself. but its totally your choice.

The drug companies have a very effective (scary) ad campaign promoting this vaccine. We see it on TV and in print ads all the time . Neither Laurie or I have gotten the vaccine but I must admit everytime I see the ads - it seems like a good idea . http://bestsmileys.com/medical/2.gif" alt="User image" loading="lazy">
better safe then sorry
hola we were down in pv last year and didnt get our shots and we were fine. but this year we played it safe and got them. they are covered by insurance , we got lucky and didnt get charged for the injection even. no side effect and my husband also take b 12 injection monthly and he was ok, dr made him stay a little longer just to make sure. We felt safer this time around eating and drinking at smaller town restaurant not being afraid of getting sick. I think its worth the shot and your good for ever i think. so if you decide to go to caribean or jamaica your already done with it.
