Quoting mltm: Quoting Deli_kizin:
Also, earlier this evening I had a first vaccin against Hepatitis A. There, they adviced me to come for another re-vaccin of the same, also one for Hepatitis B and anotehr re-vaccin of Hepatitis right before I leave in September.. and another one for common illnesses. I HATE GETTING VACCINATED.

Why do you get vaccinated? :-S It's the rule of Türkiye for entrance or what? I've been abroad as well, but have never got vaccinated. |
Hepatitis A is a very common illness in Turkey for western people. Usually the sanitaire hygiene is not as high as the Dutch standards, so my body is not used to any small kind of virus, whereas yours probably softly has been attacked since you were a child. So your body made an anti-virus system, as if you were immune. I'm not immune to it at all and could get very ill from eating food that is washed with infected water. Even swimming in the sea could get me the desease, which is more spread in summer than afterwards.
Hepatitis B is not such a common illness in Turkey, but more ocmmon than in Holland anyway, and if I'm gonna stay for a longer period in a non-western country, my body will go through major changes and will be weak. So easily infectable.
The one for other common illnesses would I also get if i stay in Holland. It's just something you get when you are young, and need again when you turn 19 
The repeat-vaccins make sure that you are protected for a period of at least 25 years..
