    I was presscribed hepatyrix (2 in 1, hep a + thoiroid) vaccine for my trip to thailand. No pharmacy has it and wont until 2014:eek:. They cannot get the individual vaccines either. What do i do. Could i travel without getting the vaccines?

    There is no requirement to actually get vaccinated from the Thai immigration point of view, it is just good travel practice however. I got the Hepatyrix vaccine myself early last year, have you tried contacting the TMB? There is other types of vaccines available besides Hepatyrix and Hepatyrix is just a brand name, it maybe possible to get the Hep A and Hep B combo vaccine instead and get a seperate Typhoid vaccine as Hepatyrix only vaccinates against Hepatits A and Typhoid.
