Check your blue books if you have them for your children and they should be covered for Hep B. My two children are 7 and nearly 9 years and they are covered for Hep B, as these shots were given to them at birth to 6 months of age, they were given 3 hep B injections. (It's on the second page of the immunisation records).

You wont require malaria, so I wouldn't worry about that; Just use tropical strength aerogaurd (with deet)to protect you from mossies.

We have typhoids every 3 years and have had the Hep A injections. Hep A consists of one injection then another injection of Hep A 6 months later to complete the course, (as already stated in this thread your Hep A lasts 10 years or so), so you don't need to worry about Hep A for quite some time once you have had it. We consulted our doctor and this was what he said we required; also to keep tetanus shots up to date.

I guess it's whether you want to protect yourself against these things or not, so I can only advise you to consult your doctor about this if in doubt.

Have a great holiday.
