Inoculationss For Australia Via Malaysia

MMCG_2

Just a query! Two adults and two children travelling in JUne to Melbourne via K.L. (staying for 2 days K.L.)There seems to be confusion as to whether or not we need injections against malaria, etc. We'd be grateful for any advice.

There is no injection for Malaria. Either way, unless you're going jungle trekking, you won't need a prophylactic.
You can get injections to prevent the development of Hepatitis. I think you're unlikely to go off the beaten track, so I wouldn't worry too much. Stick to bottled water.
Up to you.

Your probably more likely to catch something in the UK than in Malaysia.

Well there you go. I'm not medically trained and must listen to too many scare stories. By the way I'm a coward. Injections etc don't make me smile. So you've convinced me Dnnie. We'll probably not need them! Thanks
