dirtybeacher Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Asking for health advice on this sled forum is slightly retarded, but curious as to if any you guys recommend getting these shots for a Caribbean trip. Last time I was down there, was before this vaccine was available. I have a colleague that became pretty sick from it, and other coworkers that had it and were fine.

Catman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 No and I'd doubt a doctor would recommend twinrix just for a Caribbean vacation. Could be something you want to consider regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I don't think its needed unless you have an underlying chronic illness, then better safe than sorry. Unless you were going to a third world shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Depends were you are staying and what you are doing? If staying in tourist area at resort with short day trips to tourist sites then not likely needed. If staying away from tourist areas eating local food, drinking local water then more likely recommended. We have travelled in Caribean to tourist areas many times with group size of up to 50 people and no one got sick. We would eat in local restaurants and go to tourist beaches and eat and drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinrix for Hep A and B is a good idea. I have a friend who contacted Hep A during her last trip to the islands. That was three months ago and she is still off work.

odot1 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd highly recommend it. Doesn't take much to contract Hep A or B these days, even in "clean" resorts. One tainted ice cube and you could be done. Like Poncho, had to have certain vaccinations as condition of employment. Have never had an issue...used Twinrix few yrs ago as a booster prior to going south. Felt fine. Cheap insurance really... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taillight Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 i was planning to go overseas and got both twinrix shots for me and the kids. i think i had to pay $100 a shot? cant remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Some benefits plans cover it. IIRC, the shots have to be spaced apart.... although there is an accelerated dosage available if you're travelling soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Going in for first round today. Thanks for the advice everyone. Just so you know, if you're in a rush, there's a 4 dose program. (Which I'm doing) Otherwise it's three doses that you have to start months in advance. Im self employed, and signing contracts now. Can't risk being incapacitated the next few months. (or ever for that matter). Plus, I've never been shit on by a German chick, so I look forward to that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the Hep A shot is good for life but you're not covered for Hep B after a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my booklet in front of me but I think I had my first shot followed three months later with a second shot and a final shot good for life. Your doctor will let you know.
