Medical jabs ?

Hi

I am trying to find out if you need to have any medical jabs before going to paphos, traveling from the u.k.?

I know that in some countrys you do have to have them,but is this the same for cyprus ?

Hi,

There won%26#39;tbe any compulsory ones. We have had quite a few in the past %26amp; always keep them up to date as we%26#39;re often in Egypt or Tunisia where some are recommended.

Having said that, it would be wise to ensure that your tetanus is up to date, even for the UK. Many people forget that %26amp; it%26#39;s the 1st thing they ask if admitted to hospital with a cut. If you%26#39;re a gardener %26amp; or around animals, working anywhere where an injury could occur, it%26#39;s imperative to have this. It%26#39;s given as a combined jab with polio %26amp; diptheria %26amp; lasts 10 yrs.

We have known outbreaks of typhoid in Italy, Spain %26amp; Greece...ie anywhere in Europe, not just far off places, so if you wanted to be extra sure, you could request a typhoid jab; they last 3 yrs.

Regards
