    Im heading to bali and singapore for 3 weeks in september. I went to my local docter wondering did i need any vaccinations. She said i didnt as long as i wasnt going in to a jungle or somewhere like that. My friend whos going with me went to his local docter and got about 6 vaccinations. Someones right?
    I imagine you would need that shots?
    Thanks..

    no shots needed imo- although tetanus and rabies updates are probably worthwhile if you haven't had them in a while

    No shots for Singapore - Mozzies could be a problem in Bali - so yellow fever shot and tetanus imo. Go see the tropical medical bureau for advise, they are in Dublin, google them.

    Don't agree - went to Bali and singapore, definitely needed a few. Travel Health Clinic in Dawson st are great - doc doesnt push vaccinations on you, very straight with you - I'd go there and at least ask? I certainly wouldnt travel with no vaccinations!

    You don't need anything for Singapore, so just check Bali.

    you should have vaccinations/boosters for the most common things (hep a and b/tetanus/rabies) every few years regardless of travel, but you don't "need" anything specific for the countries mentioned.

    You reckon? I looked up a few other sites and they're all saying you need shots. I guess it's about how much risk you are prepared to take.
