I assume you saw your doctor privately (not NHS).
Yellow fever vaccination not necessary if travelling from UK.
Hepatitis B - low risk.
Hepatitis A - should be given.
Test immunity status - only if you've no record of past vaccinations / illnesses.
Typhoid - should be given.
Meningitis -not necessary.
Rabies - avoid wild / stray domestic animals - pre-exposure vaccination only for remote areas.
Tetanus,diphtheria, polio (combined) - should be given.
Malaria tablets - depends on where you're going (but they're the ONLY item which you need to buy - £25 is a more realistic price). Buy insect repellent containing DEET, tropical strength (about £7).
Suncare lotion, very high (50) protection (also about £7).
Not only can you get advice from your NHS doctor / nurse, but you can also find information on the web (VIS online, netdoctor.co.uk).
