Hi, hope you can help, we are heading for a holiday to Australia, and spending a couple of days both ways in Singapore, having a moment here and just had a thought that we may need jabs ??? Does anyone have any answers as to whether we do or not ??? Thanks in advance.

No, as I assume you've had all your childhood vaccinations and they're still up to date ie. you've had boosters where necessary.

Do make sure though that your tetanus jab is up to date; boosters are needed every 10 years.

Oh, and drinking tap water is fine...although it will be warm LOL!

You might also want to have some insect repellent and 'After Bite' just in case you get a mossie bite...although I find that the mossie bites in Singapore aren't as vicious as those in the USA!

Many thanks, as far as I know everything is as it should be. Have got plenty of the insect reppellant and after bite stuff, as well as the piriton to deal with any reactions too.... It was just one of those moments of uncertainty.
