wheresthebevvy? Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hep A is a big one best calling your local travel clinics as there is a big shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchart Circle Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Thanks for your help guys it looks like I have left it too late as next the travel clinic appointment is next Thursday - ans thats just for a consultation - so I may have to write the trip off. Steve, you seem quite familiar with the process. Are the vaccinations compulsory to enter the country and how high is the risk? I am guessing they may want to see a medical certificate on arrival?

Brummie Hibs Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I don't have vaccinations, and I don't have any certificates. None of my group do. I'm not going into jungle, and I don't plan to indulge in any 'straight-from-bum-to-mouth' activities. I'm only worried about being robbed by a fake taxi when I struggle to find my way back drunk to my accommodation in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won‘t get asked for any certificates or proof. Some countries (think they’are all in Africa) require certificates if an entry stamp of a declared yellow fever country is in your passport.

jailender Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I was in Peru about 4 years ago, and can't remember having to get any vaccinations, if that's of any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
