Whenever you are booking or even considering booking a holiday abroad, you should always find out if you require any vaccinations. Some vaccinations have to be given over a period of time and started quite a time before you are set to travel. It can be quite hard to find out what vaccinations you require and when online, as many sites seem to say different things and if you are travelling to more than one country, it can become a bit of a mine field.

The best way to find out what vaccinations you will need for travelling is to actually contact your GP and ask them. They will have a schedule of what you need to have and when. Ideally ask them to put it in the post or email to you so a) you have it for reference and can work dates back and b) hopefully the person giving you the advice will double check what they are saying is correct if they actually have to write it down.
