Immunization Shots?

Did you ever have to get immunization shots before entering/leaving a certain county?

Why would someone even consider going to such places?

There are a lot of places that require you have certain immunizations before entering. This is often not only to protect yourself, but also to ensure that you do not transmit any kind of disease to the people that live there. Why go? I think a better question is - why would you let an injection prevent you from exploring another part of the world and getting to learn more about a different society?

Immunization shots are really important especially if you are entering an epidemic prone country.

yes, that is an interesting way to put it... still, why would you risk your own health, even your life possibly, for the sake of exploration?
