How long does the mandatory vaccine last, that school children are given in canada?

I was given a vaccination in elementary school in canada back in about 1973-75. I believes this covers mumps
measles
chicken pox
polio
whooping cough
tetnus
rubella
diphtheria

Now I am travelling to several asian countries and would like to know if I need a booster shot for some of these.

Yes, you probably need booster shots for some of these diseases. You need to get booster shots for tetanus every 10 years.

And you probably also need to get vaccinated against typhoid fever, which is a gastrointestinal illness that some travellers get.

Also, some asian countries have Malaria, which can be dangerous. And depending on where you are going to travel, you may need to take preventive anti-Malarial medication during your travel.

You can get these vaccinations and health advice for your travel from your nearest travel health clinic in Canada.
