Excellent that your coworker is going. That will be really useful, I think.
I remember getting a polio booster, TD booster, gamma globulin (against Hep A), oral typhoid (which I had to take down to NY with me over a weekend in a cooler!), and something else. That something else may have been the antimalarials, but maybe not. Hm.
Hand sanitizer and sunscreen and Deet are all great; apparently a lot of diseases can be prevented by just washing your hands. The word on Immodium is not to take it unless you have to travel, because when it stops you up, the bugs stay in your system for longer. I doubt you'll need oral rehydration salts at all (I'm not sure I ever used them), but you may want to take a packet or two just in case, and maybe some chlorine or iodine in case you need to buy water on the street.

There, I think that's all my travel advice.
