Thailand tops the list of long-haul destinations for UK travellers. Here’s your vaccine checklist.
Essentials: Hepatitis A (£75, single dose) – contaminated food/water risk. Typhoid (£45, single injection) – especially for street food. DTP booster – check it’s current.
Strongly recommended: Hepatitis B (£55/dose, 3 doses) – for longer stays. Rabies (£90/dose, 2 doses) – stray dogs and monkeys are everywhere.
Worth discussing: Japanese Encephalitis (£130/dose, 2 doses) – rural areas, rainy season. Cholera – off the beaten track.
Malaria: Low risk in most tourist areas. Some risk in border regions.
Total estimated cost: £340-£720. Consultation is free.
Pre-Thailand checklist: Book consultation, get vaccinated (6-8 weeks out), buy DEET 50%, pack rehydration sachets, check travel insurance covers evacuation.
