Actually you don't need any shots, not officially anyway.
I was fortunate enough not to get sick even though knowing that Burma's standards of hygiene are not quite there, I fully expected to get at least stomachache. I didn't get any. I was cautious at first but soon threw my caution out the window and started eating street foods, drinking sugarcane juice with ice (it was too hot) and things like that. I think getting food poisoning is quite rare and unfortunate. It can happen anywhere, First World or Third World, at any time. To be sure, bring some Pepto Bismol pills and give your tummy some aid at the first sight/sound of trouble.
Yes, even a carrier from a Third World country that's under international sanctions has better service than US-based carriers.

What shots did you need? Did you get sick there?
Even on a 7 hour flight on a US airline the food sucks. The food looks great on Burmese carriers.
