Apologies not AIBU but worried and need the traffic!
Yesterday, in a flurry of excitement due to a good deal, we booked a holiday to Egypt in 5 weeks time, with Tui. It’s to a 4+ star holiday village, all inclusive, we do not intend on leaving the complex.
Today it dawned on us about vaccines. Our GP practice can’t see us for a few weeks. There is no private vaccine clinic near us (not be within 40miles anyway) and it would cost us £240.
According to gov travel site Typhoid and Hep A are recommended. And 6 weeks in advance.
Now panicking because if we cancel we’ll lose 70% of the cost of the holiday. We can switch to another destination we think, but probably something not as good.
Im Googling like mad. The vaccines are suggested/recommended, not essential to travel.
What on earth do we do??!! We have a 9 year old daughter who has had all her usual childhood vaccines.
Have you been to Egypt? Did you get vaccinated? Am I worrying unduly? Argh!
