    Yeh, i got mine done two weeks ago, i fly out Wednesday.

    Its Hep A and Typhoids, you need, but the nurse said it takes two weeks to take affect so probly not worth it now, the risk is low in Cancun anyway.

    No prob, don't worry about it too much, its quite safe, especially if your staying in the hotel zone, just remember the golden rule; Don't drink tap water! Stick to bottled water and you will be fine.

    I didn't have any jabs before I went last year, and I was fine. However I did have jabs before I went to Jamaica just under a year before.

    Load of bollocks .

    What is it with you southerners and your insistance on experiencing a little prick before you step out of the M25 and M4 corridor safety zone :lol:

    Shots are only reccomended if you venturing off the beaten and intend to spend days in the jungle living on insects and supping swamp water instead of Corona and you'll find most hotels have thier own de salinisation plants aswell so although the water may taste different to what your used too its still safe.

    Just make sure you drink enough vodka, sol, corona and tequilla to neutralize owt that you possibly think may do you any harm.

    Hope This Helped :lol: :lol: :lol: .

    Ian :lol:
