Do you need vaccinations for canary island? and what about tetanus?

[mummaemma]

not sure if you need any? and what about tetanus? havent had injection since my daughter was born 18 year ago??

No jabs needed, you should be covered from most things - it is europe. If you havent had a tetanus you should have one every 10 years, not just for holidays.

We didn't need anything extra for Lanzarote earlier this year.

No nothing needed.

oh good. Thankyou. Ok will arrange tetanus jabs for me and DH.

Have a great holiday

Tetanus jabs are on a special three for one offer, you get diphtheria and polio thrown in!

I think current guidelines in the UK is that you have a maximum of 5 tetanus jabs in a lifetime - not every 10 years as it used to be.

Docs told me I you don't need a booster now until after your 40. So for example if your last tetnus was when you were 25. You don't need a booster for another 15 years.

Think about having rabies jab just in case

Get at tetanus jab. Everyone should have that.
The nurse at your surgery can do it quickly, no fuss or pre- booking.

This is a very old thread!
