alabamogoa - living there where do you get your "jabs"

charlotte · Aug 16th, 2005, 03:03

Knowing that you have lived in Goa for the past 3 years please may I ask where do you have your Typhoid, Cholera, Tetanus, Polio etc injections?
We travel alot and pay loads of money in the UK or Spain for them but wondered how much they were in a clinic in Goa. I have asked the Apollo Hospital a couple of times - by email - but have not had a reply from them.
Ours are due soon so wondered if we should leave them until we get to Goa if someone could point us in the right direction of a good clinic.
Any reply would be appreciated.

Charlotte, you can get your jabs at the Goa Medical College in Bambolim. The Apollo Victor hospital also will give you what you need but you have to go in person to fix up an appointment. I have friends(professors) at the GMC so if you need any assistance let me know.

If you've been travelling a lot you should have most of them already which should bring down the costs of what you do need. With getting jabbed abroad bear in mind that you often need time to build up immunity/resistance.
