Ray-

The American CDC has recommended the same except for the Japanese encephalitus.  Their lists of immunizations here:


The typhoid and rabies they recommend for people spending a lot of time in rural areas.  Those two I personally did not get yet since I don't spend a huge amount of time in truly rural areas, though if that changes I might consider it.  I was satisfied with being up on my "standard" shots plus Hep A & B.  Food contamination is the biggest risk in my opinion, so Hep A vaccine is probably most worth receiving.  Do that and you generally minimize the impact of food contamination to the once-in-a-while traveler's diarrhea ;-)
That being said, there are a fair number of stray or half-feral dogs in some parts of UB city, so maybe if you can get one of the rabies pre-exposure vaccines for little or no cost it might be worth it.

When I moved to UB last year, this is how I thought,
"Do the people of that big, modern city worry if they have had their latest vaccinations for all these things (that you wrote)".  Well, the answer is just NO.  I had no injections and plan to be here for a long time.  People get sick at home and while in other places.  Fact of life.  So, that's what I think.
