Inoculations and Medical Precautions
We recommend that you check with your doctor who can give you the latest advice or pick up DHSS Leaflet T4. However for all of our destinations it is a good idea to be up to date with your injections for Polio, Tetanus and Hepatitis. Malaria is also a risk in certain destinations. Preventative tablets for malaria can be obtained without prescription from the chemist but always check with your doctor for their advice. | ||
