Couldn't see anything anywhere in the build up to my trip saying I needed any, and haven't had any. Should I have!?

Oops, now seen people talk about tetanus, polio and hepatitis.
I don't recall EVER having any of these. Erk.

Marc, my friend - RELAX!!!!! You don't have to have any jabs. Yes, I suppose if one is being ultra-cautious there are a variety that you "could" have, but unless you're going to Tobago as a sex tourist and intend to to sample the delights of the Caribbean (a guaranteed way of getting HIV), then you really need nothing that you wouldn't have if you were going for two weeks in Torquay. Yes, you should ideally make sure that your tetanus jabs are up to date - but that's nothing to do with Tobago or going on holiday.
Jabs etc

Hi Marc
Just to confirm what Steve says, and to tell you that you can even drink the water in Tobago. I think that's amazing!

Sorry Steve. I need a holiday!
Can you tell it's been 8 years?
Last minute panics that's all this is...
