Vaccinations for India and Nepal

I know Imaginative Traveller can't give advise about vaccinations so a question for everyone else who's been to India and/or Nepal.

Is it necessary to have the rabies and Japanese B vaccinations for these two countries? I'll be trekking in Nepal so guess that counts as being 'more than 24 hours away from a reliable source of vaccine'?

I'm unsure how great the risk really is and they're very expensive vaccines. Obviously don't want to be penny pinching at the expense of my health [Wink]

I decided to go for getting the rabies and the Hep B in the end. Definitely worth the peace of mind.

Leaving today for Kathmandu, can't wait for the trekking [Smile]

Hello LottieC

Thanks for your post- I would recommend talking to your local GP about vaccinations. There is also a good travel clininc [url=http://www.1stcontact.co.uk]www.1stcontact.co.uk[/url] that have information about vaccinations that will help you.

All the best
