Short answer: Hepatitis a, typhoid, polio, diphtheria & tetanus are the vaccinations most commonly recommended for travellers to Vietnam. Your exact needs depend on where you are going and what you will be doing, which we confirm at a short consultation.
This destination has some malaria risk, so antimalarial tablets may also be recommended for part or all of your trip.
Ha Long Bay, Hoi An lanterns, the Mekong Delta and some of the best street food in Asia - Vietnam rewards travellers who arrive prepared. Food- and water-borne illness is the main risk for short trips, while rural and longer itineraries bring rabies and Japanese Encephalitis into the picture.
Prices are per dose. Your pharmacist confirms exactly what you need — and what you do not — at your consultation.

Recommended for mostRecommended for longer trips and rural travel - post-exposure treatment can be limited outside major cities.
For some travellersConsider for rural stays of a month or more, particularly around rice-growing areas in the wet season.
For some travellersTravelling in a few weeks or a few months? Either way, we can help. Coming in four to six weeks ahead gives the most flexibility for any multi-dose courses.
Flying sooner — even this week? Please still book. We offer rapid and accelerated courses, and most travellers can be vaccinated on the same day as their appointment. Many single-dose vaccines provide protection quickly.
Had some vaccines before? Bring your records and we will check what is still in date. Often a single booster is all that is needed, and that can be given at the same visit.
Risk assessment, vaccines and any medication — all in a single appointment at our South Yorkshire travel clinic.
