I was going to Drive to India,ended up like a pin cushion and then the rally was canceled.I just told my health center the country`s I was visiting and that was it.Hepatitis A & B,Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria/tetanus/polio(one jab),Malaria.I was given a vaccination record card as some have to be updated.Then the important one,Yellow Fever and make sure you get an International Certificate of Vaccination for this.I take all these records with my passport as they could be required on entry.Some of the jabs are on the NHS and some I had to pay for.There are some nasty things you can get in India so make sure your all jabbed up.A friend of mine did not bother and when he got back from a trip to Delhi he was so ill he nearly died ! and he is an Indian and owns my local take away !! Also take a big box of Imodium for "Bombay Bum" !
