Don't get him neutered unless absolutely necessary - I wouldn't advise elective surgery for guinea pigs as there is always a risk with anaesthetic.
Check the guinea lynx website for useful tips on guinea pig care; they don't need shots but they do need vitamin C in their food. Google for a vet, but ring to check first that they have guinea pig knowledge (exotics vet).

Don't get him neutered unless you plan on housing him with a female. I have a male and female living together, and the male came neutered because he was from a rescue. It can be pretty risky, so do not just neuter him because you think it will prevent scent, fighting, etc. Because it won't do anything except prevent unwanted litters.
You'll need to find an exotic vet that has done many neuters.
Here's a vet finder site:

And no, don't get him shots. They aren't needed.
