Vietnamese Vaccinations

After putting it off long enough I finally had an apointment with the travel nurse to findout what jabs I had previously had and the recomended ones for Vietnam and Cambodia. The recomended ones are:

• Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid

Optional vaccinations were:

• Rabbies
• Hepatitis B
• Japanese Encephalitis

I also had to decide what Malaria tablets I wanted to take. I decided on Malarone eventhough they are way more expensive, you dont get the side affects that are often assiciated with Doxycycline such as photosensitisation plus it is an antibiotic.
