    I don?t think getting out of the trip is an option.  

    She either takes the vaccine or she doesn?t.   She has talked to several people who did not received the vacci

    In her shoes i'd talk to my mw/ob and a travel doctor (one who knows about risks and vaccines associated with travel) and decide based on their advice.

    Why is not going on the trip off the table? I don't know any job that would risk the liability of an employee getting seriously ill like this. She should back out of the trip.
