What Vaccines Do I Need for Vietnam? — Suffolk Travel Clinic Guide

✅ Essential Vaccinations for Vietnam

Hepatitis A
Recommended for all travellers due to contaminated food and water risk.

Typhoid
Highly advised—Vietnam has ongoing typhoid transmission, especially in rural or non-tourist areas.

Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio (Td/IPV)
Make sure your booster is current (within 10 years), especially for trekking or rural adventures.

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Stay protected with a recent MMR booster. Southeast Asia has seen periodic measles outbreaks.

🌿 Additional Vaccines for Certain Travellers

Hepatitis B
Advised for longer trips, healthcare work, or those with close contact to locals.

Rabies
Considered for travellers spending time in rural Vietnam, working with animals, or on longer stays.

Japanese Encephalitis
Strongly recommended for extended rural stays (especially in the Mekong Delta or during monsoon season).

Cholera
Generally not needed unless visiting areas with very poor sanitation or during outbreaks.

🦟 Mosquito-Borne Risks in Vietnam

Malaria
Limited risk in major tourist areas, but may be a concern in central highlands or rural border regions. We’ll advise on antimalarial tablets if necessary.

Dengue & Chikungunya
No vaccine available. Use insect repellent, nets, and wear long sleeves—especially in urban areas during rainy season.
