Mexico Injections?

[13 DJP]

Off to Cancun, Mexico in 4 weeks and was told by our travel agent to get injections before we go (they didn`t know which ones).

A quick Google shows the need for 2:

Typhoid
Hepetitis A (Haverix vaccine?)

Can anyone confirm or deny if these are correct and also how long before going I should go and get them. My missus asked her Dr and they started googling it to check, so don`t want to just leave it to them to "guess".

Cheers in advance

I was thinking Tetanus as well (god knows when I last had one!).

I'm off there in 4 weeks too (well, only the airport, off on travels after getting out the aiport!) Confirmed Hep A (get booster within one year (apparently not 6 months anymore) to be immunized for life), Typhoid, and Tetanus booster (if you need it). The Typhoid jab - little tip - drink water and take a paracetamol...

Cheers Chris, will do, does it sting a little then

I felt it a little more than the Tetanus... but it was the light headed feeling afterwards that got me more! The water and paracetamol was a hint from the nurse (You don't need a doctor for these jabs, the nurse can do them!)

Excellent, cheers fella, I`ll give them a bell in the morning
