You just need the normal shots that are also recommended anywhere else (tetanus, polio,...). A hepatitis vaccine is not a bad idea either, but I also consider hepatitis usefull anywhere in the world, even if you're not travelling!
You can find further information on the webpage of the CDC, but beware: The CDC's recommendations for Europe are a bit paranoid. It seriously makes me wonder how I managed to stay healthy even though I've lived in Europe my whole life and ignored a great number of warnings by the CDC for Europe, such as consuming milk, drinking tap water or walking around barefoot...
