The following immunizations are recommended for travellers in Southeast Asia:

• Diphtheria and tetanus
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid
• Meningococcal Meningitis
• Rabies
• Japanese B Encephalitis

Consult your doctor or local health department to discuss which ones you need.

Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require during your tour such as antihistamines, antibiotics, etc. and carry prescriptions for them.

Please note that while malaria is still rare, dengue fever is another disease carried by mosquitoes which is on the increase and commonly contracted by travellers. Although cases usually do not require hospitalization, catching dengue may still ruin your trip.

There is no immunization available for the virus – just make sure you always sleep beneath a mosquito net in open-style rooms, and always apply mosquito repellent, especially near water, as dengue mosquitoes bite during the day.
