Where the hell do you get vaccinations? Do you have to pay?
Google should be my friend, but I can't find this anywhere...

not sure about these in particular
but when i got all my jabs done i didn't have to pay. but people in other health authority areas did. so it depends! and you get them done at your GPs. obviously. or you can get them done privately at a travel clinic if you prefer.
Supercool, cheers
I just rang NHS Direct to ask, and they're ringing me back tomorrow. Huzzah!
At a normal doctor's,.
You can usually get an appointment with a nurse for it. It's one combined injection called Hepatrix (plus a booster 6 months later if you want it to last several years). No you don't have to pay. I had it on friday and it was bloody painful...
It isn't that painful!
Rabies is worse (I think I fainted after the last one). Hep A and typhoid is free, you just have to give the surgery a bit of advance warning.
Rabies isn't worse!
I've just had all three of them and they didn't hurt at all at the time, though they did make my arm ache for a couple of days afterwards. Hep A/typhoid on the other hand sent a wave of pain down my arm immediately and i felt sick and had to lie down, AND my shoulder was tender for days afterwards!
It all depends on the person
I've had five things in one three in one jab and two in another jab and I hadn no problems with anything.
ARGHHHH
Vaccination horror stories!
*leaves thread*
Your local doctors
That's where I got mine, you going on holiday to Asia or something?
Am toying with the idea of going to Morocco
In a couple of weeks. I should really have planned all this a little earlier...
You
don't really need anything for Morocco. I went with no jabs and was fine.
Bloody NHS..
I'm trying to find somewhere that will do it for free at the moment. My GP surgery doesn't do vaccinations, apparently, and all the other surgeries I've phoned won't do it for free unless I transfer to them and wait 2 weeks for my medical files to be sent over. Grr.
In theory, it's free, but I know some people have paid anything from the £7-odd prescription fee up to £90 quoted to me today.
Hm.
Considering my last-minute plan is to go away a week on Monday, this isn't sounding hopeful...
I could just try not to get infected, right? :/
no
get jabs
go see GP tomorrow
actually the nurse should be able to do it
go to you local practise tomorrow
I'll try.
I'll really try.
Thanks!
I'm immune to them both
SUPERJAMES
Sorry to bump this, I'm incapable of planning myself
Turns out I'm not actually registered with a GP, and all the places round here (drop-in centre, travel clinic, GPs) reckon it'll be around £90.
I'll keep trying, but should I be alright if I don't bother?
Yes
I went to Morocco in the summer with a group of friends and none of us had any jabs and we were all fine.
no
get the hep vaccines. you WILL contract hep otherwise.
Will I?
:(
The jab
is recommended, but not required. Most people I know who've been haven't had any jabs and did not get anything (hepatitis etc.)
*
If it's easy for you to get it then do, but if you can't you'll be fine.
no jab is required
Cheers all...
Just found this online:
"Protection against Hepatitis A occurs two to four weeks after the initial vaccination"
As I'm thinking of setting off next Monday, that's pretty much decided then... I'll hope I'm lucky, and get the jab next time.
where are you actually going?
It might be more wise to get jabs when trekking in congo than say morocco.
some diseases are much more common or likely in urban areas
Just a wander round Morocco, I think
See the cities, trek a mountain, ride a camel.
