I have the opportunity to travel to Nambibia with work at very short notice, I would mostly be staying at the hotel in Windhoek

My GP has advised that I need my Typhoid and Hepatitas B vaccines, but they take two weeks to become active.

So I would be travelling without vaccines.

Is the risk crediable ? should I cancel my trip ?

As long as you stay within the city, and are carfeul (only bottled water, no ice/salad etc), the risk is minimal. If you choose to go on a safari then the risk will magnify greatly.
