Vaccines for australia

pokypoky · 2007-01-02 17:42:38

Hey guys, I'm wondering if any of you could direct me as to what vaccinations if any are needed for someone going to australia for about 3 months? I worried about one called Japanese B encephalitis which sounds rather nasty. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

As far as I know the answer is zero, unless you plan top stop off in Asia on your way.

I didn't need any for Australia, it's a Western country so your chances of catching anything here are about the same as at home. As Joeyjoejoe43 said if you're stopping off in Asia it's a different story but go to your doctor and discuss what you plan on doing while you're away, e.g. if you're going trekking in Asia you might need one or 2 extras.
