How much are holiday vaccinations for Egypt and Kenya?
I am off to Kenya and Egypt for a few weeks later in the year. I am aware that I will requirea number of vaccinations. I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much doctors charge for these vaccinations?
Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I am off to Kenya in 2 weeks and had to have tetnus and diptheria redone and a yellow fever injection. I had these done by my local surgery who is luckily an approved yellow fever centre, but not all surgeries are as you have to have a licence. You need to be vacinated against polio, tetnus, dip, yellow fever and hepatitus A. My boyfriends children's surgery is not licenced for yellow fever injections so we have to go to a clinic to get it done - cost �42 each!!. The malaria tablets recommended for Kenya have to be bought on private prescription. Malarone seem to be the best (the others have a side effect of possible climical depression and the other one a sensitivity to sunshine - not good for Kenya) Tesco's do Malarone for �2.30 each, other local chemists charge upto �3.50 per tab, so worth shopping around. You need to take one a day for 2 days b4 you go, then during, then 1 week after.
have fun
