I saw the needles thread and it gave me a thought

Do i need to get some jabs before i go to Turkey for 2 weeks?

If so, how n when etc etc

"Going to turkey"

You probably need a tetnus and a Hep B/C.

Just go to the doctors and ask, asap as well!

I didn't when I went during spring time a few years ago. Though if you've not had many in recent years then your GP may be able to look through your record and suggest something (trousers down or up lol).

Maybe try that? Not sure if it'll help, Google isn't very useful at answering questions.

No you don't.

We're going in August for 2 weeks too.

If you're in Western Turkey you'll be fine, I went without jabs. Eastern Turkey towards Iraq, I'm not sure. But I doubt you're going over that way anyway?

Went to Side last summer and didn't need any jabs. Prepare to be hassled to the maximum though

Just 90 day quarantine on your return.

No jabs required for Turkey but do buy some good quality deet spray on arrival as the mosquitos are bad this year.

youll be fine just dont get ripped off by the people at the stores who are offering you a 'discount'..

Tony Williams · 26 May 2008 at 02:15

When I went to Turkey I didn't be getting any meds. Pot of yogurt for meh.

Sankari · 26 May 2008 at 06:18

Didn't have any needles at all when we went to Istanbul.

dantheman213 · 26 May 2008 at 10:32

I went a few years back and didn't have any jabs, I came back just as healthy as when I went.

He said "Turkey" not "the north of England".

Nothing required for Turkey. Nice place just dont stop and talk to the hasslers a quick "no thanks" and continue walking

Also good value at the moment money wise due to the exchange rate.

Yeah it gets a bit annoying telling all the restaurant people 'no' everytime. I think this is more of a cultural thing rather than rudeness, the people in Turkey are some of the friendliest I've ever met, you'll love it Thorpy.
