Yes. It depends on which country you are going to, but it is usually the same standard shots you would get if you worked in a hospital plus, maybe, Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever, and Malaria. And if you travel to Africa, there is a good chance that you will get shot. Works both ways.

Yes, but as to which will depend on the country in particular that you will visit. Try this website. http://www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk/ Basically you need to be aware of malaria and yellow fever throughout Africa and most other countries have additioal advised vaccinations. Go to your local doctors they can advise you on what is required for your particular needs. Go soon as well because sometimes you may be non-reactive (i.e. the antibody production in response to the vaccine isn't sufficinent enough for you to be classed as immune) and boosters may be required. These can take time, so don't delay.

Many countries don't have any set vaccines that you need before arriving. But it's advisable to take precautions against malaria and yellow fever (if you've been in an affected area, so other african countries). Here's a list of details for many Southern African countries: http://www.coreafricanexperiences.com/african-visa-information/ Hope that helps! Ciao for now.
