🇮🇳 India Travel Vaccinations
India is one of the UK’s most popular and culturally rich destinations — whether you’re visiting family, travelling for business, or backpacking through Delhi, Goa or Kerala. But changes in food, water, climate, and mosquito exposure can quickly cause illness without the right protection.
Our Travel Health Clinics in Doncaster and Newark provide expert advice and all essential India travel vaccinations to help you stay safe during your trip. Appointments are quick, convenient, and carried out by NHS-trained pharmacists.
🌍 Recommended Vaccines for India
- Hepatitis A – protection against contaminated food and water.
- Typhoid – essential for street food travel, rural stays, and family visits.
- Hepatitis B – recommended for long stays, medical visits, or intimate contact.
- Rabies – important due to frequent stray dog exposure in cities and rural areas.
- Japanese Encephalitis – for rural, long-term, or monsoon-season travel.
- DTP Booster – ensure protection against diphtheria, tetanus and polio.
🦟 Mosquito-Borne Illnesses & Prevention
Several regions of India have mosquito risks, including dengue fever, malaria and chikungunya. Because vaccines for dengue and chikungunya do not exist, prevention is essential:
- Use 50% DEET repellent during the day and evening.
- Wear loose, long clothing at dawn and dusk.
- Sleep under treated mosquito nets in rural or non-air-conditioned areas.
- Discuss antimalarial tablets with us for at-risk regions like Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and rural Maharashtra.
🥗 Food, Water & General Health Advice
- Drink only bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice in drinks.
- Eat food that is freshly cooked and served hot; avoid raw salads.
- Carry rehydration sachets, hand sanitiser and a basic first-aid kit.
- Ask us about traveller’s diarrhoea packs and medication options.
