Why You Need Travel Vaccines for Thailand

Thailand’s tropical climate, varied environments, and vibrant food scene mean you may be exposed to:

• Food and water-borne illnesses (e.g., Hepatitis A, Typhoid)

• Mosquito-borne infections (e.g., Dengue, Japanese Encephalitis, Malaria*)

• Animal-related risks (e.g., Rabies)

Not every traveller needs every vaccine — our clinicians will tailor advice to your destination, activities, and trip length.

Recommended Travel Vaccines for Thailand

Here are the core vaccines commonly considered for Thailand. Tap each to learn more or book quickly:

1) Hepatitis A

• Spread via contaminated food or water.

• Important if you’ll be eating local food or staying rurally.

• Single dose before travel + booster at 6–12 months for long-term cover.

2) Typhoid

• Another food- and water-borne illness.

• Recommended for local eating, homestays, and longer visits.

• Injectable (3 years’ cover) or oral (5 years).

3) Tetanus (Td/IPV)

• Bacteria enter through cuts, burns, or wounds (e.g., scooter accidents, trekking).

• All travellers should be up to date; booster every 10 years.

4) Hepatitis B

• Spread via blood, unprotected sex, tattoos, or medical/dental procedures.

• Recommended for long stays, volunteering, healthcare work, or adventurous travel.

• Standard or accelerated schedules available.

5) Rabies

• Circulates in dogs, cats, monkeys, and bats.

• Risk is higher in rural areas and during animal contact (e.g., temple monkeys).

• Pre-exposure vaccine simplifies treatment if bitten/scratched.

6) Japanese Encephalitis (JE)

• Mosquito-borne brain infection found in rural/agricultural areas.

• Risk is greater in northern/eastern Thailand, especially during monsoon.

• Recommended for rural stays, fieldwork, or long trips.

7) Dengue

• Day-biting Aedes mosquitoes transmit Dengue in towns and resorts.

• No routine medication — vaccine may be suitable after clinical assessment.

• Bite-avoidance is crucial.

Other Vaccines to Consider

While not routine for Thailand, you may also need:

• Meningococcal ACWY – for Hajj/Umrah or meningitis-belt Africa.

• Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) – for forested parts of Europe.
