Answer 3

The answer depends on which countries you are visiting. Africa is a very big place and there is no single set of recommendations that applies to the entire continent.

You can read about health issues and recommended vaccinations at the website for the Centers for Disease Control at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx

Answer 4

When I was in the military back in the late nineties, they made us take pills for malaria. That's pretty much a given if you go to Africa.
