Hi Does anyone know if jabs are needed for this cruise?

 

Much appreciated and sorry if it has already been asked!

Best to check this out with your GP. You will probably need the usual:- HepA, Typhoid, Tetanus and Polio. Your doctor might recommend others. Don’t take chances, it’s not worth it.

The "fitfortravel.nhs.uk" website is usually an excellent first stop  as they have a "country by country"  section where you can check each country you will visit.  They also have a Malaria map for each country where malaria could be an issue.

 

Each is usually also divided into different areas/regions of each country so you may find that the areas you will visit could require more or less in the way of vaccinations, anti-malarials etc.

 

Also check with your Travel Service at your local GP practice for any vaccinations you need to get and for anti-malarials if needed.

 

If you need these, shop around (easily done online) to compare pricing for anti-malarials as the cost can vary.

 

Although we have not needed to buy any recently, in the past we bought ours several times from an in-store pharmacy in Asda who were the cheapest at that time.
