cruiser647 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 My eldest is off to Thailand in January. Does anyone know the prices of typical injections she'll need? As Boots have her booked in, but won't tell her how much they are????? Until her consultation. She can leave if they are an extionate amount, but she might as well be prepared. Thanks!

CarMad Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 We got all our stuff at the GP when we went to the Far East have things changed?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasdrury Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Depends. you can get most suitable for a holiday from gp but if go for longer (I moved to Delhi for 6 months a couple years ago) the gp doesn’t provide all that are recommended Those ones cost around £250 iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Depends on how long & where she's going in Thailand but the standard ones 3-in-1 teenage will have ticked most of the boxes and the rest free on the NHS. https://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1071.aspx?CategoryID=70&SubCategoryID=175 If she's going backpacking near the Cambodia/Laos border she might need Malaria - I have a good supplier (cheap) for those pills if you need 'em. If she's staying the resort areas for a couple of weeks then she'll be safe enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Have a look for a Masta Travel Clinic. Their website will tell you what you need and also the prices. I used them before my trip to China + North Korea and was able to get booked in at fairly short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Backpacking and camping. My eldest? Straight to a resort and wondering around there and the beach, bit of site seeing too, but defo no trekking. I will get to to look at the website thanks Burble! Trying to get an appointment which suits her is impossible by all accounts, so hence the Boots consultation. Thank you all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's worth saying that in mid August there was a national shortage of Hep A vaccinations which had been ongoing for a few months and was expected to last until the end of the year so it's worth getting booked in sooner rather than later if she'll need a Hep A shot.

Boots will charge £50+ for Hep A and £30+ for cholera and Typhoid ... all which are free on the NHS, maybe that will make her see the local nurse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
