I’m going to bali on Friday with my partner and my 16 month old and she’s up to date on her vaccinations but is there any others that she requires to get or is to late and is it safe aswel for her to get them as I’ve heard some bad things with children getting these vacs and they get really sick from them…… So please I need advice ASAP…. And do me and my partner need any kind of vaccinations aswel….

We are taking a holiday, staying in Kuta with myself, my wife and my 6 year old and 4 year old girls. Do we need any vaccinations before we go ?
Thank you

Its a series I have been told. You get one shot then another after 9 months to a year.

For anyone concerned about mercury in vaccines, if you look at the concentration of mercury, yes it does look high. If you calculate the amount of mercury in the volume you receive in one dose, it comes out to be less that the WHO and national health associations consider to be safe to consume EVERY DAY in your drinking water. So a once off vaccine is less risk that the water you drink every day (ie pretty much zero). Do the maths yourself if it makes you feel more relaxed.

THIS IS INCORRECT! One shot will not provide protectiong for 3 years, it does not work like that, no immunity is built up in the body until at least the second injection, the 3rd injection will generally provide good immunity, a great deal of people will however require a fourth to boost there levels.

I had Guillain Barre Syndrome 15 years ago (not after vaccination or any known cause though) and was looking at traveling to Bali this year. Is it safe to go without any vaccinations and/or can i safely have any of them? I have had no vaccinations since GBS and have fully recovered.
