Hi, has anyone recently been to Cape Verde. I am going in January 2018. What jabs are needed if any? Only genuine replies please. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

You shouldn't keep posting the same question repeatedly.

Some friends went last year, and apart from the time it took them to get there, they liked the whole experience.

Jean, you've been asking this for months and had answers.

//The TravelHealthPro website, which is funded by the UK Government specifically to provide health advice for travellers and health professionals, recommends that you should ensure that you've got up-to-date vaccinations against Tetanus and Hepatitis A:

You won't get them done on the NHS now, you are too late. You are going to have to pay for them.

As Mamyalynne points out, I replied to your post with a link to the website operated by the National Travel Health Network and Centre, which is a body set up by Public Health England and funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

It's that site (and only that site) which your GP would consult if you asked him about which vaccinations you required. It's that site which British Embassy staff will consult before they travel to foreign countries. It's that site which the World Health Organisation feeds the latest information on health hazards to. It's as 'official' and as accurate as it's possible to get. I fail to see what further information it is that you're now seeking.

I`d just get tetanus which you should be up to date with anyway, regardless of where you travel.

I think all the replies you have received here and on other threads have been genuine replies, jean. Answerbankers are a very helpful bunch. I hope you manage to get the jabs done in time and enjoy your holiday.

gov.uk sites are the best place to start for queries like this

That leads you to the site Mamyalynne gave.
