There were no sewers to carry waste and dirty water away, so the danger of diseases such as cholera and yellow fever was very real.

Matilda Cook, the main character in "Fever 1793" by Laurie Halse Anderson, lives in Philadelphia, USA. The story is set during the yellow fever epidemic that swept through the city in 1793.
Farmers found it difficult to come to Philadelphia to sell food in the book Fever 1793 because the city was being ravaged by a yellow fever epidemic, causing widespread sickness and death. Many people were fleeing the city to avoid the disease, leading to a lack of customers and a risk of becoming infected themselves. Additionally, the government imposed quarantine measures that restricted the movement of goods and people in and out of the city.
When Mattie awakens in the garden in "Fever 1793," she sees her grandfather dead from yellow fever and the chaos and devastation that the epidemic has caused in Philadelphia. The garden has been abandoned and the city is in a state of crisis.
If you are just going into the city you probably dont need any but if not you should get shots for Malaria, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid Fever but that is only if you are going to be in the jungle
