Sheryl Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Other than the standard immunizations which they will already have had: rabies (human diploid) hepatitis A Same for you & any other adults travelling Hepatitis B not necessary for 8 year old, advisable for adults IF they are likely to be having sexual contact with locals or using injectable drugs. Unlike Hep A it is not spread thru food or water, only blood and bodily fluids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth noting that the diseases to which you will be susceptible and those to which you will be resistant already depend, to a certain extent, on the country you live in. For people resident in the UK there's a good reference on the NHS Direct web site: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/artic...?articleId=2307 HTH jtv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
