Are there any suggestions to any types of preventitive vaccines if any that would be of benifit in these longer OW swims? The bodies of water that I enter are not all bad...Lake Mich, finger lakes, Lake Erie, Potomac. As endurance atletes we are already a little bit immuno compromised. Plus, my insurance is changing and figured I would get caught up before the end of the year if possible. Thanks.

How are endurance athletes immunocompromised?
I've read several research articles on endurance athletes and the "habit" of overtraining. Maybe immuocomprominsed wasn't the best words, how about immuno supressed. I concern myself with this because I have three young and sticky children that find ways to be disgusting all the time.
To the rest of the reply's, thanks all. Hep. and tetnus were what I was thinking. All up to date there. I'll check w/ my doc and see if he thinks of anything else.
