- Hepatitis A & B
- Meningitis ACWY
- Rabies - as there is a worldwide shortage of the immune globulin this was recommended (especially so for children.)
- BCG (TB) You can't get this done on the National Health unless you are "at risk" in the UK.
- Yellow Fever only needed if you travel directly from a high risk Yellow fever area.
- Anti-Malarials - not needed for Rehoboth/Windhoek but might be needed if we visited the north??
I'll add comments as I find out more information.

On further advise we have decided to leave the BCG as it only offers partial protection but turns the skin test positive for TB (often falsely). It is only of reasonable benefit in the very young (less than 5yrs. old).
We will probably get the yellow fever done just in case we ever travel to an infected high risk area.
We were further advised that we didn't need Meningitis ACWY either.
So we are all on a course of 3 injections for rabies and 3 for Hepatitis B!
