Having just booked an amazing holiday i duly filled in the travel form at my gp surgery so i could start the process of getting vacvinated in time.
I was asked to see the nurse yesterday and need your advice on what i do.
There are 4 vaccines she will give me...hepA..typhoid...tetanus...mmr.
Then there is malaria tablets that i know i must have.
But then we get the grey areas....well you are classed as high risk because of diabetes and thyroid so really need to think about having...meningitis...rabies....yellow fever...and hep B! All of which i have to pay for at an average cost of £60 each.
So...what have others done in these circumstances? I'm going to Tanzania and Zanzibar..safari for 6 days...hotel for 6 days.Started insulin 6 weeks ago.
Any suggestions please?
