Thailand: Immunisations

I'm heading off to bangkok & koh samui in August for a couple of weeks. Does anybody know what vaccinations im going to need and how much they'll cost? I know i need to get them straight away as im going in around 6 weeks.

Anti-malaria tablets 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after
Hep A and B vaccination
Typhoid vaccination

I think :smile:

I'm from South East Asia and the vaccines are mainly for Koh Samui....

i got that one 2 days ago for going to china (also in about 6 weeks time) in one single combined jag. My arm still hurts from it :frown:

.

To the guy going to bangkok: You will probably need quite a few vaccinations. The longest immunisations seems to take 3 doses over 28 days. The only people who can tell you exactly what you need is a specialised travel clinic. Phone them up immediately.

I can give you a list of what i need for going to china (for a year). It might be useful as a rough guide. I needed Diptheria and Tetanus, Hepatitis A, Hepatitus B, Japanese Encephalitis, Polio, Rabies, TB (BCG) and Typhoid. Infact i already had almost all of those without knowing. The Only ones i actually needed were Hep A and Typhoid which i got there and then for £15 and Jap Encepalitis and Rabies, which i've booked up later and will need a couple of injections. Those will cost me about £100 in total.
