Also is it necessary to take malaria tablets.

I am seeing the nurse at my GPs next week to discuss.  Be interested to hear form others on this subject.

I did this trip in March this year and was not advised to get Rabies injection. To be honest, I would not have had it even though I was advised by my GP's travel nurse. You only need it if you are planning to work with wild animals! I also did not take any malaria tablets. I took mosquito repellent, but hardly used it.

Rabies vaccination was suggested to me also but is in no way compulsory so I dont think i'm going to have it. Only if you're planning to get bitten as Jaya says.Nurse wouldn't prescribe malaria tablets but did advise tropical strength repellent containing DEET.

See you in Feb if it's the one on the 3rd.
