Bazle Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I looked at my travel vax history this morning, and concluded that I needed doses of 4 things to bring me up to date. I managed to get an appointment at a travel clinic in London this afternoon (needless to say, not NHS!), and learned a couple of things which might be of general interest. 1. The current thinking is that the Hepatitis A vaccine should last 25 years. Previously it was 15. 2. The current thinking is that the Hepatitis B vaccine should last for life. So I didn't need either of those, even though I thought I did. However, the journey wasn't wasted as I had Tetanus and Typhoid jabs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was living there I also kept my JE up to date. And Rabies. Forget Cujo, those Soi dogs are a seething cesspool of biological hazards despite their benign demeanor. Check the price of HRIG (if you can get it). Edited July 11 by fygjam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked out in the countryside in 5 African countries and "too many to count" Asian countries over the years I have always kept everything uptodate!
