you've left it a bit late...but if you call your GP or NHS direct they will let you know what jabs you need. (some jabs have to be given a certain number of weeks/months to be effective) You might have to pay for some of them as well.

You need 3 jabs. Malaria tablets also. the 3 jabs protect against 5 diseases. Your local GP/Nurse will do them for free.

No inoculations are required to get a visa. It is recommended that you have Cholera and Typhoid upto date. It is also good to have anti-malarial tablets/treatment. Although I have been numerous times without treatment and never caught malaria. I guess it is your choice if you want to risk it or not.
And future advice if you travel somewhere exotic again - sometimes you need 4-6 weeks before travelling to get jabs and for them to start working and ensure you are properly covered.

well you should get them earlier than 2 weeks so shuold have thuoght about it earlier.
i think you need
yellow fever, check this one chargeable i believe
tetnus booster unless you have had one
hep a
malaria i would have thought you need to take these 4 weeks before else they dont work, and if you dont 400 cases of malaria in the uk a year.
there is another one i cannot remember. check the internet and ring your doctor now, ask the receptionist or nurse she will be the one doing it anyways now!!!
good luck
