Injections for South-East Asia

mise · 2005-01-05 09:17:13

Hey, Just wondering what injections people got going to SE Asia. Ive got to get them soon (going to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam), and have heard that sometimes you're pushed to get ones you don't really need. Also what malaria tablets would people recommend. Thanks!

I got mine in the Tropical Medical Bureau in Grafton Street in Dublin (www.tmb.ie), they weren't pushy or anything. Just recommended certain ones and told me why they recommended them and left it up to me.
How soon are you going? You're supposed to get them about 6 weeks before you travel for them to be effective.
Can't help about the Malaria tablets, haven't had any need for them.
Have a good time, you'll love Vietnam!
