    Hi boardsies

    Being a while
    Deal is going to india next week
    Checked my vaccination card & having a freak out and the TMB is closed due to Easter.

    I got a hepA injection in July 2004

    The next time I received a hepA injection was when it was combined with the cholera vaccine and that was in august 2009. By rights the cholera vaccine should do me until august 2012? however am I also covered for hepA for up to ten years???

    Or am I better off trying to get both from the TMB this week to cover my ass.

    Thanks in advance boardsies 

    How long you going to India for? What kind of places will you be in? For piece of mind you should probably get them. A good few of my vaccines are out of date and I've been a bit slack about getting them done. You can google the vaccines and see if you should be covered.

    As far as I know in relation to Hep A when you get the vaccine it covers you for 3 years but then if you get a booster about a year later it covers you for 10 years. you didnt do that either time v but seeing as your latest hep a vaccine was less than 3 years ago you should still be covered with that this time.
