Recommended Vaccines for international travel?

We Answered:

Hi there - I have been to China 6 times now - first time in 1989 - and never had vaccinations - and also never had any trouble. The only thing I carry are some tablets in case of diarrhea - and have (touch wood) never had to use them.

I can't comment on your Travel Clinics as I don't know which country you live in.

I travel as an independent traveller so don't use the plush western 'group' type hotels but use local accommodation or backpacker hostels. As long as you are sensible and take 'normal precautions' (ie make sure you wash your hands before eating etc) I don't think you will have a problem. Take a packet of 'baby wipes' or similar to use if you are travelling on the train etc and remember - toilet paper is not supplied anywhere in China (well, not usually unless you are in Western style accommodation)

HI, i receive an email from The Harley Street Clinic as Nursing Assistant, ant told me to process my working v?

We Answered:

Sounds like spam as the wording & english in this so-called letter is atrocious. But if you are asking if this is legit, you need to call the clinic up (and I would look for their number somewhere else besides this email to verify). My opinion is that this is a scam. They will ask for $ somewhere along the way (to process something or some such) and there is no job & no such clinic.

Are Health care expenses paid in a Foreign Country tax deductible?

We Answered:

Yes. As well, if your travel was for the sole purpose of receiving health care, travel, lodging, and meals are deductible.

What do I need to prepare for my 8th month old to travel to the Philippines?

We Answered:

be sure that a week or two before departure date, your baby doesn't catch cold or get sick. the change in altitude would be hurtful and stressful for a young traveler.

What vaccines are important for Zambia?

We Answered:

Hepatitis A and B, Check. Typhoid, Check.

Malaria: your risk of malaria may be high in all countries in Central Africa. You can ask for a prescription antimalaria drug.

Rabies: if you're going to have extensive unprotected outdoor exposure in rural areas. Such as camping, hiking, bicycling. So, depends on where you're going to be and what you're going to be doing.

Yellow fever: Recommended if you're going to an "endemic area" and may be required to cross certain international borders.

Also, check the dates of your last booster doses for tetanus, measles, and a one-time dose of polio vaccine for adults.
