re: Vaccinations Required?

Nah were not in classes.....most of us can ski/board (in the loosest sense of the word?) But I'm hoping we are on the first lift up and the last one down!

Want to explore all runs, as well as the mountainside boozers.....no doubt we will be venturing into the town for a few jars most nights tho!

How old is this message? Is it still the case that I'll be ok with no hepatitis a vaccine?

re: Vaccinations Required?

I think the advice is still the same, Laura.
We never got HepA for Bulgaria - but it's not like it is going to harm you, and as mentioned in other posts it's not as if it is a bad thing if you are travelling to other "exotic" destinations (as a family we have just got it for Albania - though it was a booster for me as I had it for India in the past).
Depending on your age and potential risk profile, you can also get the joint HepA/HepB. The advantage of this is for the more adventurous ...

Depending on your age and potential risk profile, you can also get the joint HepA/HepB. The advantage of this is for the more adventurous youth who may possibly go travelling and do something a little bit silly (tattoos amongst other things... and more likely to get into accidents which need hospitalisation). If you get HepB on its own they charge you - but if you get it with HepA for an 'at risk' country, then it's free!
