the belly

Posted by harrisfm on Thursday, 10. March 2005 at 20:25 Bali Time:

Has anyone had any experience with using the new "vaccine" for Bali belly. It is on prescription in Australia and consists of two liquid doses 2 weeks apart before you go away.It is not cheap ( $100 though health funds give you some back) and has a succuess rate of 60 %.
cheers Sonya

Ps I am tempted - have never been to Bali but had a bad gut in Thailand last year. I just don't want our holiday spoilt
