| I have been backpacking for the last 5 months, I'm currently in Australia where I hoped to get my Japanese Encephalitus vaccine before starting my travels in Asia and India. After visiting a few medical centres I've been informed that the vaccine has in fact run out in Australia so there is no way I can get it here. | |||||||||||||||||||||

After visiting a few medical centres I've been informed that the vaccine has in fact run out in Australia so there is no way I can get it here. | My first stop in Asia is Singapore, is it easy/possible for me to get the vaccine here? And will it be very expensive? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have never had a Japanese E vaccination for any visit to Asia. It is very rare for travellers to get Japanese E.

Hopefully our travel budget will be enough to allow us to afford hostels and not have to sleep in the rice fields! | Thanks again Lil Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
