Yes, get your shots. They should be able to help you analyze your travel situation, itinerary, health history, budget and your own tolerance for risk. Try to get your immunizations as far ahead of your trip as you reasonably can. And a word about rabies. This is a fatal disease, spread mostly through animal bites and saliva, and is common in some developing countries.
Rabies vaccines are available but are needed only by some travelers at moderate to high risk.
Avoid animal bites and saliva by not touching, petting or going near animals, especially dogs. If bitten, wash the wound very thoroughly with soap and water and get medical help immediately. The longer you will be away and the further from good medical care you may be, the more important it is to be prepared. Make sure any health concerns, chronic problems and treatments are taken care of before you go. If you are taking medications be sure you carry enough with you for your whole trip and some extra.
