was thinking if i need a rabies shot? amongst a few others i may need to take.
RECOMMENDED VACCINATIONS:
1) Hepatitis A vaccine
2) Typhoid vaccine
3)
4) Influenza vaccine
but the rabies vaccination is super expensive! and anyway its a multi-dose vaccination, no time for that.
RABIES:
Rabies PEP: rabies vaccine x 5 doses at day 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 (approx $160 per dose, total course = $800)
RIG is recommended for high-risk bites (unprovoked attack, stray animal) but is expensive (approx $1200 for 60kg person at 20 IU/kg)

taken from here since the visit to CGH yesterday wasnt helpful and TTSH site doesnt have info.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS:
1) Mosquito precautions: Repellant spray (eg 15% DEET, OFF) applied every 4-6 hours if the mozzies are biting.
2) Food & water - water should be boiled/bottled/iodinated, food should be well-cooked & hot. No ice, no salads, peel your fruit (not just wash it).
Bring anti-diarrheal meds, consider empiric cipro 500 mg bd x 3-5 days if severe (diarrhea with fever, going > 10x per day, bloody stools)
Oral rehydration with ORS, alternatively stuff like Gatorade, chicken broth, 7-Up, can help replace glucose, electrolytes & fluids
