As I recall, our doctor recommended Hep A and B, Typhoid and tetanus boosters. He also gave us scrip for Malarone -- an anti-malarial. Warning: my wife had a dramatic allergic reaction to the Malarone -- she broke out in hives and looked like she was wearing paisley tights. We found out later that the allergic reaction could have been potentially deadly. Fortunately, a very able local Indian doctor diagnosed the allergy and administered the appropriate antihistimines. If you're going to consider talking Malarone, test yourself well in advance of the trip.
