Tetanus and diphtheria are part of the standard set of vaccinations strongly recommended for everyone in the United States as well; if you're coming from the US and you've had a recent Tdap vaccine, you're covered for tetanus and diphtheria. If you haven't, it's recommended anyway. The US recommends Hep A vaccines for travel to Argentina, as well as almost the entire rest of the world except for Canada, western Europe, and Australia. Argentina isn't considered a risk for Hep B.
