Reply to this Hello Bobby 😊
The important Hep vaccination is Hep A. If it is so expensive to get Hep B then just skip it. Also, rabbies vaccination is not absolutely necessary. I have never had a Hep B vaccionation and only had some rabbies shots once after being bitten by a monkey in Thailand. If you are bitten get to a clinic right away but the chances of being bitten are small. It has only ever happened to me once in all the years of travelling. Keep your distance from dogs and monkeys. Are you sure you need Malaria prevention? I am going to India this Christmas and thought I would need Malaria protection for there but the tropical clinic here in Munich, Germany recommends that I dont take it. A lot of clinics seem to be going the the way of only recommending Malaria protection for the most heavily Malaria infested regions such as some in Africa. Whether to use Malaria protection or not is quite a contravertial subject.

Reply to this cool.but i think hep b is blood conected and i was hoping to go dentist while in asia as its much cheaper and i was advised that i shld get it before i went??with the priceof the jabs i may as well not bother??my g friend get cained big time by the mozzys so she is a bit parra about the malaria in v nam but coast seems fine. thanks for yr help.
Reply to this Well, choose a dentist at a clinic that is recommended by expats. That should be safe and clean enough. Hep B is something that those who are very promiscuous or drug addicts who share needles are at risk of getting.
For the mosquitos buy a repellant with DEET. That is very effective for keeping them away. It is probably not available in the UK but is available everyplace I went in Thailand.
