The Searchers: 60's Hit RecordInnoculations

Not the sort of injection I'm looking for....

There is a wealth of information regarding diseases and prevention on the HU website but my doctor required me to go to the website www.masta.org for a printout of the recommendations listed for my journey. They charge about £4.00 for a list of 10 countries, so I needed 3 pages to list my journey.

The NHS will provide the following free of charge.

Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (1 injection)

Typhoid

Hepatitis A

The following is considered mandatory and will cost me.

Yellow Fever. A Certificate maybe required in some countries.

The following should be seriously considered and will also cost me.

Hepatitis B

Rabies

Cholera

TB

Tick Typhus (inc. Spotted Fever / African Tick Bite Fever)

Lyme Disease

Malaria

So if in the next few weeks I say ‘not tonight I’ve got a headache’, it will probably be true!
