Hep A /Typhiod injection

Hi I had the Hepatitis A & Typhoid combined injection on the 18/4/07. I am going to India for 3 months and am wondering if I would need the booster injection?? Would this then cover me for life.

thanks

The Hepatitis A vaccination is given in two doses. If given with the Hepatitis B vaccine, it is given in three doses. You need to get the second vaccination against Hepatitis A to have full immunity. It should be good for life. The Typhoid vaccine is only good for several years so if you were to travel again several years later, you may need to get re-vaccinated for Typhoid.
