I received a shot of Havrix HepA vaccine today.  (There were some
complications... but this turned out to be a fun experience overall).

I was told I should return to the clinic in 6-12 months for a second
shot, which 'tops up' the body's immune response for the longer term.

Given the long latent period (2-6 weeks), I'd be most worried about
coming home and passing this to other people around me, perhaps those
who are more vulnerable.

They were quite keen for me to drink only bottled water, and obviously,
try not to get bitten by any animals while there.
