So here I am to educate you on the travel vaccinations India travellers need to keep them protected!Travel vaccinations India

With such a huge and diverse populous country at your fingertips, to ensure your trip is completely enjoyable there are a few things you will need:

 

  • Ensure all childhood immunisations are up to date.  
  • Consider boosters for tetanus, whooping cough and rubella.Travel vaccinations India

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:

  1. Hepatitis A
  2. Typhoid
  3. Flu shot

RECOMMENDED Depending on the length and type of trip you are planning:

  1. Japanese Encephalitis
  2. Rabies
  3. Malaria
  4. Hepatitis B
  • There is no risk of Yellow Fever in India, but they do require proof of Yellow Fever Vaccination if you are travelling from a country where the disease is evident.

Some other things to keep you healthy while travelling:

  • Avoid mosquito bites

  • Drink only bottled water and avoid bottles that the lid comes off too easily – these may have just been refilled from the tap!

  • Don’t get water in your mouth while showering, use bottled water to brush your teeth too!



  • Eat only at busy restaurants

  • Don’t eat salad, or undercooked meat

  • Carry a bottle of hand sanitiser and use it continuously or wash your hands with soap frequentlyTravel vaccinations India

  • Don’t touch everything

  • Be conscious of what and who are around you

  • Carry a first aid kit with some emergency medications such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, anti-histamines, anti-nausea, anti-diarrhoea etc.  I also make sure I have rehydration satchets as well in case of a gastro bug.

Trust me, your trip will be much more enjoyable without getting sick.  And it is possible to travel to India without catching any thing more than a travel lust. 

Follow the steps above and make sure you visit your local Travel Health Clinic about 3 months prior to travel as some vaccines require a few administrations and adequate time in between each one.

    Very good tips and i must say, the recommendation is quite similar to here in Africa though yellow fever is a must for some countries here.
    Are the vaccines a must and do you need to provide a certificate or they are just for precaution.
    India is quite popular for medical tourism but i would not mind site seeing in Indian. Why are there cows on the street are they used for transport?

      The vaccinations listed in this article are just highly recommended rather than required.  I wouldn’t travel without them!  The cows in India are sacred to Hindus so they don’t eat them or catch them, they are allowed to do whatever they want basically!

      Thanks, Kris

    While India is one of the countries on my bucket list, some of the stories I hear about allergies makes me step back. In fact, I am a little ashamed of not being their being in its neighbour country! I find some interesting and useful facts in your article. Thank you for this!
