  • if you are trying to conceive or could be pregnant, you are recommended not to have your travel injections. I was due my 12 month booster (to give 10 year immunity) of my travel injections last August and when I said to the nurse I COULD (boy i didnt realise i was!) be pregnant and wouldnt know till next period, she said I couldnt have them until i knew. She said if i wasnt pregnant, i could come back and have my jab in couple of weeks. Turns out I was, she said that was a cowards way to get out of my further injections! image
    Another word of warning, you can't take malaria tabs. We were in Sri Lanka when I found out i was actually pregnant and having checked the warnings, decided coastal resort was a low risk anyway. However, i still got bitten very badly, had bad reaction to the bites, AND i couldnt take anything for them! (No antihistamines when pregnant!) :\(
  • the thing is my nurse hadnt a cluw how long i would have to wait after my travel injections, i have already had them.
