where can you get decent info on what vaccinations etc you need to go abroad?

[poppy34]

Any website that has general advice on what is recommended in terms of vaccinations you need to go abroad?

Thought Department of health had one but no...

TravelDoctor.co.uk

Where are you going?

dunno - probably jordan. Any good suggestions for 10 days in october?

My friend is just back from Galapagos and Ecuador and had to take malaria tabs until they got there and found there weren't any mosquitoes and those tabs aren't cheap.

No I sometimes go to Spain in October as the weather is still nice and I have family there, so it is cheap!

Don't know about Jordan.

you should be carful about taking vaccines and malaria tabs if you think you mat be pregnant, or TTC.

I am not a health expert, but you should speak to local GP or surgery for deatils.

The website I gave is very good FWIW.

I bet she wasn't happy secondhandrose - been in too the docs last week and malaria tablets really aren't cheap from what they told me.

Part of holiday is as we've just lost a baby so want to do something ncie. I'm not sure to book anywhere regardless of jabs but am worried if I'm lucky enough to be pregnant by then that would be stupid. But then think that would be a stupid line of thought as would feel stupid if directed holiday somwehere safe adn then found I wasn't pregnant.

DH quite likes safari idea as do I if wasn't for jab dilemma.

spooky cross post there wotz - that is exactly what was running through my mind about what to do for best...

poppy34 sorry for your loss, save some money for future plans and have a nice little break closer to the UK, if that is where you are. Less stress and fuss.

thanks wotz... good idea - dh has never been to scotland properly so that might be one idea. Plus cold weather means cuddling up more ...

Go to Florida, don't have to worry then. Go early October. Should be lovely.

scotland is lovely, we went to the Isle of Mull in Spring time once and it was bliss. So much to do here. Lake district is also nice and snuggly!

SecondHandRose - October is not a good place to be in Florida. You may have been lucky but, even though the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov 30, mid-August to the end of October are the hurricane-happening months for Southwest Florida.
