hey, ok, i guess this isn't exactly the best place to ask it, maybe a doctor would be better, but......
Im going to be travelling around the world from september, visiting pretty much everywhere but africa (but who knows what will happen). So was hoping to get enough vaccinations to cover myself in every scenario wherever i may go. Does anybody know all the ones i should get? And how long before i go i should get them done? Costs would be helpful too. Thank you
I'm in the same boat but need to top up japs more than anything.

If you get yellow fever make a copy in case you lose the original. When I went to the Gambia we were told they could refuse entry when you landed if you didn't have the cert.
Also, take a card of all your jabs you've had listed so if you ever need any medical assistance you can show the local doctors et.c. what you've had and when.
thanks for your help, i'll give the website a looksie
so where are you planning to go?
so, I believe i would need: - Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio - Hepatits A & B - Typhoid - Yellow Fever
Does anbody know of any that I have missed? And what is the deal about Malaria in Central and South America?
India, SE Asia, Australasia, South America and North America :-)
depends on where you go re: malaria, I didn't need malaria tabs for Patagonia, the rainforest areas like Peru maybe different but was under the impression malaria was more prevalent in Africa and some Asian areas. You could try this link for info on particular countries.
