Injections

[juceyjules]

Do you need injections when going on holiday to tunisia?

[Grunty]

You need typhoid, hepatitis A and yellow fever.  Others are recommended and occasionally others are required.  You will find full details here (although I think my answer is correct, you should look it up yourself to be sure).

Grunty - I'm fairly certain you don't need yellow fever (unless you are flying in from and endemic country)

Current guidelines are;

Ensure Tetanus is up to date.

Recommended - Polio, Hepatitis A, Typhoid.

Consider- Diphtheria, TB, Hepatitis B & Rabies, although these will depend on how long you will be going for, where you will be staying, what you will be soing & your lifestyle choices.

I've been to Tunisia several times and never been required to have any; It's only the Mediterranean, after all, not the Tropics...... I did have to have a smallpox jab when I went to Morocco in 1972, but the rules there have long been changed.  All this, of course, assuming you're going from the UK; I can't speak for anywhere else!

agree with Narolines, I've been there a few times and never had a jab for anything. That's just for coastal holidays, perhaps different if you're going to live in the desert with camels.

None of the injections I have listed above are required, but dependent on how cautious you are being, are recommended.

For a holiday in a coastal resort, I would personally have Hepatitis A & Typhoid, as these are more to do with the hygeine of the personnel working in the hotels, restaurants etc, than the hotels & resort themselves
