Giardia is a very nasty one celled cirtter that causes diarrhea. I wasn't aware of any vaccination that was given for it, but then again I am not a vet.

I do know that one of the sources is raccoon poop. On a wilderness hiking trip to Colorado where we got our drinking/cooking water from the streams, the guides were adamant about properly treating the water..... Giardia on a wilderness camping trip where the potty is a shovel and a hole is NOT fun!.

GOOD LUCK!
