Go into Traveller's Health, and then select Morocco as your destination.

Apparently there are some recommended jabs for Typhoid and Hep A etc
But im too late. Your supposed to get them at least 2 weeks before you go. So even if I did get them they wouldnt have time to settle into our system and would act as a preventive.

I contacted a clinic here in Galway and they said that if myself and herself go in together to get our shots that its
152 Euro each. Which sounds a bit expensive.

my local doc said that they are not compulsory so we should be Ok if we stay safe.
Eg drink bottled water, try and stay away from shellfish and salads. Not drink from a stream. Not brush your teeth with the water. etc. But the resorts are said to be Ok but we will still take measures.
