We have booked a week's holiday to Croatia in late summer, staying at a big hotel in a popular tourist resort. I've been looking at the vaccination advice on the website that is linked to Foreign Office Travel Advice. It recommends that people staying with locals in Croatia or staying for extended periods should get the Hep A vaccine. It then says, "Hepatitis A vaccine is well tolerated and affords long-lasting protection, it could be considered for all previously unvaccinated travellers at the discretion of their healthcare provider."
So is it sensible to get vaccinated against Hep A as a precaution even though we're not in a high risk group? Or will a GP only give the vaccine if you're travelling to a country where the risk is higher? Any advice welcome.
