The trip will have a duration of 3 weeks more and less, and I've read a few informative web sites regarding this issue but most of them seem to play very safe and recomend a ton of vaccines to prevent illnesses.
Knowing that lots of persons who frequent this forum live in western countries I would like to know how you guys approach this theme?
None of those cities/regions really need any kind of vaccinations. That said, while it's not mandatory, obviously you can get some shots in advance. (Those have been mentioned already here)
So yes, if you want to "play it very safe", getting shots is a good idea - but it's far from absolutely necessary.
