v2drinkers:
tell him to see the nurse tomorrow
yellow fever
hepititus a/b
typhoid
rabies
tetanus / diptheria
maleria tablets yes - get the ones you take a few days before then every day then a few days after {the expensive ones!}
Inaccurate advice. Would also suggest make appt to see nurse, not many surgeries where you can just turn up and expect to get advice, unless travel centre or walk in centre.
- Confirm primary courses and boosters are up to date as recommended for life in Britain - including vaccines given to special groups because of risk exposure or complications (e.g. hepatitis B for health care workers, influenza and pneumococcal vaccines for the elderly).
- Courses or boosters usually advised: diphtheria; tetanus; poliomyelitis;hepatitis A; typhoid.
- Vaccines sometimes advised: hepatitis B; rabies; tuberculosis; Japanese B encephalitis; cholera.
- Yellow fever certificate required if over 6 months old and entering from, or being in transit through, an area with risk of yellow fever transmission within the previous 6 days.
