A further addition: Hepatitis needs two vaccinations the second about
at least three better six weeks after the first.  So if you did not
started *now* it's kind of late.  Last week I had yellow fever vaccination
because I want to go to Iguazu falls and this vaccination should have
a time delay to other vaccinations of about 10 days.  So if you wanted
to have all the ones listed in Margas mail you should have started
the procedure.

Hint: Sometimes some repellant and a mosquito net are even better
than a vaccination - so bging at least these if you want to go to
North East Argentina.

Kind regards
