Vaccinations for Thailand

Most travellers on a short-term (2-week) resort holiday to Thailand will receive two vaccination shots at least two weeks before travel.

One shot covers Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio.

The other shot covers Hepatitis A/typhoid.

Additional vaccinations to cover Hepatitis B and Rabies should be considered by travellers planning to:

• Travel to neighbouring countries (Laos, Cambodia)
• Travel 'off the beaten track'
• Undertake voluntary work (orphanages, hospices).

Minimising the risk of Dengue Fever through mosquito bite avoidance is very important in South-East Asia.

Hospital support to unwell travellers in Thailand is good, particularly in Bangkok - see http://www.bangkokhospital.com/eng/.
