Hi! Have a look at http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/travel/asia/maldives.shtml it should tell you everything you need to know.

We are going to the Maldives & Sri Lanka for our honeymoon in October, although wedding is in 6 weeks...I can't wait! Hope your wedding & honeymoon are lovely!

We are going to Sri Lanka and Maldives in August.

We had jabs for tetanus, polio and typhoid (combined) and hepatitis A at the beginning of July although I think this was mainly for the Sri Lanka bit.

hey. we go to the maldives in august, we had our jabs yesterday - doctors strongly recommended hep a and typoid (they do it as a combined vacination so only one injection), and we had a tetanus update too (that arm is swollen today and sore). Jen

apparently with hep a, if you go back about 6-9 months later they will give a second jab and then you are covered for 25 years. i had injections in both arms, one is pretty sore and swollen. i hate needles but it wasnt too bad. h2b hasnt been to doctors or taken a tablet in 16 years, he wasnt well after the jabs, was all dizzy and pale, apparently because his body isnt used to any medication.

55 days to go till wedding, 56 till the maldives!

as much as I dont want to go back for the second, I will do as means 25 years cover. hoping the soreness will go away soon! i wasnt sure whether would have to pay, but luckily the standard injections like that are free on the nhs
