Besides the "routine" immunizations how many open water swimmers have taken extra shots to protect themselves?
In a thread from 2007 some people said they had gotten Hepatitis A and/or Hepatitis B shots. I looked around the CDC website and saw where Typhoid and Rabies shots might be a good idea.
Is this overkill? What are other people doing?

Thanks, I am going to only get shots for Hepatitis A (already have current Tetanus shot). The other stuff sounded like a stretch but just wanted to hear from experienced swimmers.
