    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me how close to travelling should i wait until i get injections. I am going to Vietnam at the end of Sept. Also is there anything else i need to take into account around the time i get them, i.e that i wouldnt be able to exercise for a day or drive or stuff like that.

    I think ill be getting these injections:
    Hep A, Typhoid & Malaria, Diphtheria, Hep B, Rabies & Jap B

    Cheers

    Check with the Tropical Medical Bureau. Some of the injections can be a course of two or three and you will need to leave some time between them. I had to do this when I was going to South America.

    Have a great Trip!

    As the poster said - go to the tropical medical place in Dublin.

    Rabies has to be taken over the course of a few weeks. Why would you need rabies jabs anyway?

    is there a Malaria jab? I thought it was daily tablets only.

    You can have the injections now as they usually last for several years.
