No vaccinations for any country are mandatory, they are all just "recommended". However, check your insurance policy as it may be invalidated if you do not have the recommended vaccinations and then try to claim for any illness you may contract.

thankyou for that, checked our policy and it doesnt cover illnesses due to not being innoculated.

Some doctors practices may charge you the price of the prescription, check with your GP.

Hello everyone.

I'm going Aqua blu - Sharm El-Sheikh in June :) Was just wonderin what Jabs i would need? Last Jab i had was TB & not up to date with others cause never been told about them. Will be my first holiday so hoping someone could help.

Had mine a couple of weeks ago. I had to have Typhoid and Hepatitus A, also a tetnus as it had been over ten years since my last one, though do check with your GP .

Your best bet would be to phone your surgery and tell them where you are going.This is what we did when we went to Mexico. I would imagine that you'd need the Typhoid and Hepatitis jab. Some jabs are neccessary and some are recommended.

Hi I have not had any injections as i was told we did not really need any its a bit late now as we go in a few days . Is this ok
Reply
There is no compulsory requirement for them however it is always best to error on the side of caution, again I recommend anybody travelling to any foreign destination check what they should have well in advance of travelling.

Hepatitis A and typhoid, plus the triple that we need for the UK anyway - DTP which you probably have up to date. The first two last for years and years, I think they now say Hep A last for 20 years.
