I went to multiple vaccine clinics and could not find it in Saigon. If anyone knows where to get it I would also love to know. Also be aware of Dengue fever. My brother in laws best friend got Dengue and almost died. Its really bad along the cambodian border.

It's $165 in Australia and was checking if it's available there. If it's hard to find I'll get done before I leave
