    Im going to NewZealand for the month of August, i believe i need some injections or something. How do i go about getting these and how much are they? Can you get them off a college nurse or do i have to take the hassle of booking appointments with the family doctor or whats the norm.
    Cheers.

    I went to New Zealand a few years ago and I didn't need any vaccinations.

    From TMB:

    It is all good at this side of the world. I checked with my doctor before I moved, just make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.

    In general do you need injections for stopovers, and can you be refused entry to a country because you didnt get neccessary/reccommended injections?
