Forgot to get my shots

I forgot to get my shots and will not be able to prior to going to Colombia. I'm only going to be in Cartagena doing the tourist things there. Will drink bottled water, eat a good restaurants etc.. Do you think I'll be ok without the shots?

Thanks

Just to be safe I would be sure to get the following shots ..... ron y aguardiente, you can obtain these shots whilst in Cartagena.

Yes, if you don't get the shots Kernow recommends you're probably a goner.

Shots I don't think any shots are required.

So I wouldn't worry about it.

I would not worry about it... I have been to Cali and Palmira several times in the last year. I spent several weeks each trip and I never got shots. Without even thinking about it, I drank the water, ate the food and did everything that the natives do...I never had a problem except that I had to use the bathroom a little more often.

Ahhh yes... aguardiente... Had an interesting night with that. Drinking shots of that along with drinking some Ron Viejo de Caldas... Next thing I know, I'm helping a local stumble out the door but, I felt fine. And this was after only about 9 shots

Enjoy,
Dan

DR75200 Don't worry you will live to "DIE ANOTHER DAY". You will have greater problems to fact in your life that this. Suppose you are one of those "sissy girly guys" that got your flu shot this year. jajaja

What shots??? I'm confused. Just be careful with that CosteƱa water. And be careful with the bags of water. Rumor has it that they like to refill them with tap water and reseal them. However I think that it's mostly psychological. If you think you're going to get sick, you probably will. I agree with bbattiste, just do what everybody else does.
