Hi there,
Was wondering if someone will know the answer to this query.
I was away in June and both my husband and I spent about 300 each on travel vaccines and malaria tablets. ( I nearly collapsed with the price but that's another issue).
These weren't covered by the drug refund scheme or my medical insurance.
Does anyone know if you can claim tax back on these at the end of the year as part of a Med 1 claim?
Thanks!
 
Thanks. It's still slightly unclear to me, will just give the revenue a call.
Cheers
 
Vaccines and malaria drugs would have been prescribed by a registered practitioner, so are allowable.
 
Malaria drugs and vaccines are prescription medicines so it would be very difficult to get them other than from a registered practitioner.
 
I see. I thought that you could just walk into some of these clinics and get them done without prescription but I guess I was mistaken?
 
These clinics are manned by doctors, so you are getting a prescription (even if you don't see the paper it is written on, as such).

But without the prescription receipt, will you still be entitled to claim?
