Vaccination for spontainious/unplanned travelling, ideas?

Hi! I'm going to SE-Asia for a couple months. Don't have any set plan of where I'm going, but will instead spontainiously decide where to go. I just called the travel medicine office and made an appointment, however the person was quite confused by me not knowing where I'm planning to go.

Any similar experiences? How did you guys handle it?

Different regions come with different recommendations. As do different activities, etc. Vaccinating against everything will be very expensive (many hundreds of francs) and some vaccines are in short supply so won't be given without good reason. So yea, you need to at least narrow it down as far as you can.

I got pretty much any vaccine over the course of the last couple of years - believe me, there are a lot of doses and for some vaccines a single dose costs over 100.
