Can I get vaccinated in another country?
I am planning a trip to Asia with no ending date or 100% certain plan on which countries I will visit. There is also a chance I will continue to North America and Europe depending on how things go.
In the event of wanting to travel to some country in the middle of my trip for which I need a special vaccination, is it possible for me to get it abroad?
I called my insurance company and asked them about it and they said that they only help in case of emergencies and that a vaccine is not an emergency (they are probably right though they could have been more helpful)
Does anyone have any experience getting vaccinated abroad? Should I carry my vaccination record with me?

Adding to the excellent answer by @MarkMayo. You might also be vaccinated at many airports just before boarding your plane. I once was denied boarding in Paris because I couldn't prove being vaccinated against yellow fever. Some countries require yellow fever vaccination and if you can't prove that you are vaccinated you apparently are not allowed to board the airplane.
At Paris Orly, I just got a new yellow international vaccination booklet. To be safe, I would call the airport medical authorities at the airport of your departure just before going there.
