        Definitely take your smallpox vaccine before time traveling. They still make them, so it shouldn’t be too much hassle.

            You can get it in Canada. You need to give a good reason to get it, but I’m sure time travel would qualify. If not, just say you’re a laboratory worker researching Smallpox, and they’ll give you the vaccine.

                The IRS sends you a letter reminding you that time travel counts as being abroad and any earnings you make are still taxable.

                  And since the IRS wasn’t formed until 1862, you’re stuck paying at least a couple hundred years of interest on missed payments!

              I don’t know if they would be willing to give you the smallpox vaccine in order to go back in time and totally change history so none of the people involve in giving you the vaccine would ever have been born.

          Couldn’t chickenpox vaccine suffice?
