cant think of a port on OV where you will be needing to go as far as getting vaccinations. These are same as last year and no one had vacinations. check with OV or look in their brochure or follow previous advice given here.

Best to check with either your Doctor, Nurse or even you local Pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist as they will have a list of all the countries you will visit and will be able to tell you what is reccommended for inocculations or even Malarial Tablets if needed. I usually check with them and if any needed to to the Doctors and make an appointment with the Nurse for any injections. Hope this helps......Wendy

Don't know about Typhoid but your Doc may recommend Yellow Fever if you are Travelling to South America It cost about £40 a few years ago and I think it lasts for 10 years.I had to go 'Private'.The Foreign Office Web Site will also advise you.

You should contact your GP with details of your ports of call. Some innoculations require 2 visits and/or may require them to get them in so I recommend you do this sooner rather than later. When I had Yellow Fever jab many years ago I ended up going to a private clinic as my GP would only do it once he had a number of patients requiring it.
