01. Are there things we must get done before going to space, shots and so on? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

There are no infectious diseases (like malaria, cholera, or yellow fever) in space, like you might encounter when traveling on Earth. So, no shots to protect travelers in space are needed. However, depending upon where you are when you launch and where you are when you land, you might need a shot for protection against certain diseases on Earth.
