Vaccinations

From At home ... away • 1 July 2001

For overseas travel, tell your doctor where you are going and check for any special medication or vaccination requirements.

For people who are HIV positive it is important not to be given any “live” vaccinations. These usually include vaccinations for yellow fever, TB, measles, and typhoid oral dose vaccine. Some anti-diarrhoea treatment can be useful, but ask your doctor which ones are suitable for people with HIV.
