Sage advice. And everyone should make sure their Typhoid jab is up to date - it only lasts 3 years. $19 at Pasteur.
Hmm, I have been meaning to get a rabies vaccination after a friend got bitten and needed two shots in one week and didn't feel too chipper after them. I had forgotten about Typhoid.

Do Pasteur do an full vax screening and advise on what you need or just vax as per your instructions.

I just instruct them. I don't have too much confidence in the docs there.

I did Rabies shots a long time ago without problems but they only last a couple of years. Might be worth considering before a trip to Kampot however.

Re. Typhoid, I speak from experience having got it when I let my protection lapse during Covid. Worth $19 to avoid.

*Might have been the "American style medium done burger"
American burgers aren’t allowed to be cooked medium, at least in the US. Health hazard. McDonald’s even uses timers to make sure the patties are well done.

Where did you hear that? McDonald’s is not a burger joint and their hamburgers are so thin that you have no choice but to cook them well done.

Don't get rabies shots unless you get bitten

Which probably won't ever happen

But if/when it does you have weeks to get the shots

Typhoid otoh, a good vac sang to have for sure
