    Am hitting south america, was looking at the TMB website there, and for all south america countries it says you should get HEP B if you are trekking. Now i cant see myself doing many treks,prob just the inca trail, should i bother getting it?

    Ive been to thailand(did a jungle trek in chiang mai aswel) and buenos aires and rio, and they didnt require me to get HEP B, so it is essential? Im goin in 3 weeks and there is 3 courses for this injection so dont even know if i would have the time to get it done, anyone any ideas?

    If TMB recommends it, I personally would get it.

    I would say you are probably too late though.

    As far as i know Hep B is a course of 3 injections. So you may be too late to get them.

    Only yellow fever is required for certain places, most of the rest are recommended!

    Yeah i think i will just leave it,i have the rest of the jabs,hopefully it should be ok.

    My typhoid jab expires in 2010 when i need a booster, does anybody know what the story is with getting the booster whilst abroad. I expect to be in australia for the majority of 2010
