vaccinations for Cancun

[ultracamp]

Hey,

For anyone who's gone to cancun. I was wondering if you got vaccinations.

Also, if so

-how much did you get?
-did you do this at a family doctor or walk in clinic?
-did you have to goto a doctor, get a presecription, then bring it back to the doctors for the shot or did they have them in stock.

I don't have a family doctor here so.. if possible walk in clinic would be fine with me.

Thanks in advance,

I've been to Playa Del Carmen twice (which is south of Cancun) and have never had the shots, and as far as I know I don't have Hep A or B!

You can get the Twinrix shot but the dosing has to be taken in something like a 6 to 12 month span, I don't think it's entirely necessary for Cancun though...

If you are staying at an all inclusive type place you probably have a higher chance in catching a common flu over anything seriuos. Stay clear from tap water and you will be fine. I've been to Mexico twice and never bothered getting any shots.

i got back recently. the shots i got were
H1N1 and Twinrix (hep A and B shot)

for twinrix, you have to have a doctor's perscriptoin. either family or walk in. u gotta take 3 shots total. 2 shots within a month of each other and the third shot 5-6 months away from the second shot.

oh btw, h1n1 is free and twinrix is 62 bucks a shot

Its silly not to take Hep shots.
Take the Twinrix

Theres no going back once you get Hep.
