Will I Need Immunisations?
Some developing countries have legal requirements for all visitors to have certain immunisations. For example, some parts of Africa and South America demand documentation to prove that you are covered for yellow fever.
Your GP will be able to give immunisations such as tetanus, polio, hepatitis A and B, typhoid and cholera. Try and plan your immunisations about 2-3 months before your departure as some may need 2-3 visits.
Centres, which give advice on, and may also give immunisations are:
