Nope. Haven't gotten any shots in years.

Is it a live vaccine? If so, I'd be really, really careful.

No, but I asked my OB about it because I had to travel to Asia where Hep A vaccine is recommended during the 1st trimester. My OB wasn't sure and looked it up for me and then said it was OK for me to get it if I wanted to. I still didn't feel very comfortable about it. In the end I decided against it and took a chance since it was a short trip.

ETA: The Hep A vaccine is NOT a live vaccine, according to my OB

Here's some more info:

I got a waiver to skip the Hep B vac. while I was preggers with Neve b/c I was technically considered a full-time student while finishing my MS.

I have. I had the second in the series of Hep B during a pregnancy.
My OB said it was safe.

Neve, do you think your risk could be diminished if you brought or boiled water...only drank bottled/canned beverages?

Just curious since the vaccine topic comes up now and again with E. Europe travel and you know how I feel about them. Though it's quite easy to feel that way tucked into my little burb.
