    I will be going to Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhai from Mar. 27 to Aprril 3. Should I get a Polio shot? What other pre travel precautions should I take, ie:Tetnus? I am a healthy 81 year old female. My last overseas travel was more than ten years ago. What is the highest elevation of these cities?

    I appreciate any information you provide. Thanks in advance,
    Ruth Zalph
