Hey there :)
I'm planning to get a SRS in Thailand, I'm wondering whether it's useful to get the recommended vaccinations (typhoid fever, hepatitis a) before going.
People who went there, did you get those done?
love <3

Nothing. I asked my GP, but... Unless you are planning on doing some tourism on the countryside before surgery or having sex as a farewell gift to your penis (I know of somebody who did it), you will mostly be moving between your hospital room and the supermarket / mall, and you will spend most of the time after surgery on an aseptic environment (the clinic), or again in your hotel room (Chett made me stay for 10 days). There will be low chances of catching something
Just stay away from street food vendors, as a lot of companions have ended with food posisoning. You could get a mosquito repellent since Zika is a thing in Asia.
The thing I would recommend is getting a flu shot. You are going to spend 12 hours in a massive plane crowded with people, plus the airport connections. That's where you would have the highest right of catching something.

I had the hepatitis A and b vaccine, flu vaccine, tetnus, and typhoid. They also recommend the Japanese Encephalitis but you only need that if you're going to be out in the Countryside for extended periods of time

Personally I'd get the vaccinations Susan suggested because why not? Its easy enough to do and reduces the risk of bad things happening. Its very unlikely anyway, but you'd not want to come down with an serious illness in the early days of post-op recovery. I suspect that would be very very bad.
