I can't register with my most local GP until the week before I go on Mystery Holiday. I need travel jabs -- diphtheria, typhoid and hepatitis A. Where can I get them done quickly and cheaply?

Travel jabs

Thanks to those who suggested travel clinics. Found a price list. Got stressed. Went for a walk. Realised there's a far cheaper solution, which is to return to GP of Doom in SE8.

One phone call later ...

Funnily, they have no problem fitting me in (so presumably it's only when you need treatment badly that it takes weeks and/or a fight with the receptionist).

Yay needles. I think.
