As an aside, please bear in mind that it takes awhile for a vaccine to be
fully effective in your body - at least 1 to 2 weeks. If you are concerned
about any of these diseases and wish to be vaccinated to be protected when
you arrive in Argentina, talk to your doctor about the immunization time.
Besides the fact that getting a vaccine the day before leave is a *really*
bad idea, it's pointless to boot. If you're considering, you should talk to
your doctor as soon as possible and get the vaccinations done in the next
couple of weeks.
