    I'm looking for recommendations for GPs/Clinics who will do travel vaccinations for Thailand reasonably cheaply. Any suggestions?

    I got mine above the Pharmacy on Patricks street near Merchant's Quay - I shopped around, and they were pretty much of a muchness pricewise.

    What kind of price did you pay if you don't mind me asking? PM instead if you like.

    Think it was about 60 euro, but I could be a little out.

    Woah, you sure about that? Shopped around a bit and the cheapest I could find was €135 for Hep A, Tetanus and Typhoid.

    I *think* it was. I'll ask the lads in Australia who were with me, my memory's a big steaming turd these days, they'll know.

    Look up TMB . Tropical medicine burea . They give good advice .Depending on the vaccines but some u need to a course of shots. Can end up being pricey. All depends on your activities. The hep A and hep B vaccs are well worth getting.

    I used those guys as well for a trip to Vietnam a few years back, very professional operation I thought. Their office is on Union Quay near the car park.

    I had a quick sniff around last year (for a trip to Thailand and nearby countries): Checked TMB etc and figured that you'll pay about the same with the people on their list (somewhere in mahon?) as for any GP consultation, plus whatever the cost of the meds/vaccines are. Follow up jabs, where required, are usually just an admin fee plus cost of meds/vaccines.

    By the way, I ended up paying €130 for Hep A, Tetanus and Typhoid. Happy enough with that.
