Health risks in Thailand differ by region, activity, and type of trip.
Choose a weekday. No GP referral or waiting list.
Your pharmacist reviews your destination, health, and plans.
You’ll know exactly what your trip needs, nothing more.
Vaccines given. Medicines dispensed. Certificates issued.
These vaccines are routinely recommended for Thailand; your pharmacist confirms which ones apply.
Spreads through contaminated food and water. Street food, ice, and raw produce all carry risk in Thailand.
Widespread across Thailand, particularly where food and water hygiene cannot be guaranteed. Injectable or oral capsule course available.
Single booster for travellers whose last DTP dose was more than ten years ago. Those vaccinated within five years are not currently eligible.
Relevant for anyone receiving medical or dental care, getting tattoos, or staying long-term in Thailand. Accelerated schedule available.
Present throughout Thailand, including tourist areas where stray dogs and monkeys are common. Particularly important for children, backpackers, and rural travellers.
Mosquito-borne brain infection found in rural and agricultural areas. Risk is highest during the monsoon season from May to October.
Mosquito-borne illness causing severe joint pain, reported across Thailand including tourist areas. IXCHIQ for ages 18 to 59, Vimkunya from age 12.
Book as early as possible; some vaccines require multiple doses given weeks apart.
Rabies needs three doses over 21–28 days; Japanese encephalitis needs two doses 28 days apart; hepatitis B needs three doses, though an accelerated schedule is available.
Single-dose vaccines, including Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Chikungunya, still provide meaningful protection even when booked one to two weeks before travelling. Book immediately and your pharmacist will work with whatever time is available.

For most trips, no. Malaria risk is concentrated in forested border provinces near Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. Your pharmacist advises based on your specific route.
Yes. Present throughout Thailand, including tourist areas. Stray dogs and monkeys carry risk in resorts, cities, and rural areas. Particularly important for children and backpackers.
Recommended for rural and agricultural areas during monsoon season. Not typically needed for short beach or city trips. Your pharmacist assesses relevance based on your itinerary.
Yes, for single-dose vaccines. Multi-dose courses, including rabies and Japanese encephalitis, require follow-up appointments for subsequent doses scheduled around your departure.
Very common. High temperatures, street food, and local water use in food preparation all increase risk. A standby antibiotic from our independent prescriber gives you a self-treatment option abroad.
