Other than the standard immunizations which they will already have had:

rabies (human diploid)

hepatitis A

Same for you & any other adults travelling

Hepatitis B not necessary for 8 year old, advisable for adults IF they are likely to be having sexual contact with locals or using injectable drugs. Unlike Hep A it is not spread thru food or water, only blood and bodily fluids.

It's important to get up-to-date information on the vaccinations necessary for the country you're visiting. It's also worth noting that the diseases to which you will be susceptible and those to which you will be resistant already depend, to a certain extent, on the country you live in.

For people resident in the UK there's a good reference on the NHS Direct web site: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/artic...?articleId=2307
