At least 6 weeks before (check with doctor). Last week we had the combined HepA&B will need another 1 month later (before we leave) and another in 6 months after that - supposed to cover you for 20 years. We also had typhoid and tetanus (those that didn't have it) and polio. We decided to not to do anything for Cholera. We are leaving September 12. Better to at least have 2 shots of the HepA&B before you leave, just in case! Private medical covers some of the bill depending on who you are with. Have'nt received my bill yet. Probably about $500 for 5 of us - 1 had 3 shots, the rest had 2each, then will claim difference.
