Hong Kong/Singapore/India - Vaccinations?

[middletoenail]

I'm going on a business trip for approx 2 months to these 3 countries and was wondering if I need vaccinations and/or Malaria tablets?

I went to HK in Feb and didn't think anything of getting this done, but reading up online has freaked me out. The travel clinic websites try their best to make it seem like its a must and give you all kinds of stats relating to the worst case scenarios!

I'm asking the good people of NSC whether they have been recently, and if so what they did?

Home - Fit For Travel and make an appointment with the nurse at your GP's office.

Are you still with Amex? Went to S'apore year before last for 3 weeks and had no jabs prior to travelling.

I did exactly that trip in April/May and didn't need anything. Mind you depends where you are going in India. I was just Mumbai but I guess if you're going to second tier cities or even more rural then worth asking your quack re malaria etc.

Hope you get some down time, they are fantastic cities.

Hong Kong is a good experience, Singapore is a bit sterile but quite nice, India is an absolute shit hole

I went to a lot of India and after checking the map with my practice nurse worked out I didn't need any anti malaria tabs they will tell you, I'm fairly well travelled and as such jabbed all I needed was a single booster.
