Moved from abroad as it is about jabs needed for travelling and not living abroad.

You should already have had all of those vaccines even if you didn't realise it at the time. You may need a booster for them though but worth finding out when the last one you had was as you were probably more interested in other things at the time to notice it, like skiving out of a lesson.

More information from here for starters.

The DTP jab lasts for eight years immunity. I got one recently and it cost €40 excluding consultation fees. If you're getting hep jab then you need to go six weeks before you travel because you'll need a booster six weeks later and another six months later to ensure you get the longest immunity from it. Altogether expect to pay in excess of €200. Some health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccinations.
