I've been going back and forth to Belize for the past 8 years and haven't taken any of the injections your doctor recommended specifically because I was going to Belize. I do get a tetanus shot to keep me current but has to do with working construction. When I lived in Nigeria, every Sunday afternoon I did drink 2 bottles of Guinness Stout for malaria. Now I use vodka and tonic. Both the stout and the tonic have quinnine in them and that was said to prevent malaria. Now it just helps the disposition.
