nkcbkc Posted June 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Have any recent travelers to French Polynesia on small or large cruise ships gotten Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines per recommendations of the CDC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggietc Posted June 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'm not going until next year, but I got my first Hep A/B vaccine a week ago. There have been outbreaks of Hep A in domestic restaurants , so I figured, as an adventurous eater, it probably was a good idea. I'm less sold on Typhoid Fever, and it's harder to obtain in my locale, and only good for 2 years, so I'm holding off on that for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandThyme Posted June 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Actually, that's not quite correct. According to the travel doctor I saw prior to my upcoming Grand Asia, where both of those vaccines are recommended, the typhoid injection is good for two years, but the oral vaccine, which is what I got, is good for 5 years.

Well, for me, at least, it's a bit theoretical until I can source somebody locally that has the vaccine. The online resources that popped up only mentioned a jab and no other option. Interesting.
