Tibet Vaccinations
Posted: Wed March 12, 2008 11:25 PM UTC
Hello,

Travelling in Tibet which are the vaccination that are absolutely recommended ? I read on different site that I should be vaccinated against rabies, typhus and polio, beyond Hepatitis A& B + Tetanus. As i was vaccinated as baby against polio, do I really need to be vaccinated again?

Thanks
Dolores

Consult your own doctor or practice nurse, listen to what they say, your health could depend on it.
Bring fond memories back from your holiday and not a deadly disease.
Enjoy your holiday.

hi,

I was in Tibet last year and already had vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B, and a 3-in-1 vaccination for Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio from earlier trips. For Tibet I got an extra vaccination against typhus, as the hygienic condition is not always good. If you are planning adventure trips through the countryside lasting more than 4 weeks you should consider vaccination against Japanese encephalitis and Rabies.
