it is up to you if you want/think you need them. I think it depends where you are travelling to. If you plan to go bush, then it is definitely a good idea to get shots. But, as also mentioned, this should have been one of the things that you organise ahead of time, or even ask about ahead of time because, as someone said, some immunisation needs to be done weeks ahead to take effect or, for example, hep B needs to be done 3 times in a row over a period of months. If you haven't had a tetnus shot within the last 10 years then it may be a good idea to have one of those. We had the children immunised the first time we went, but since then we don't bother. Anyway, best to speak to your doctor. You'll have a great time either way.
