🇻🇳 Vietnam Travel Vaccinations
From the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City to the rice terraces of Sapa and the beaches of Da Nang,
Vietnam offers amazing culture, food, and adventure. But tropical climates, mosquito exposure, and local cuisine can bring health risks — especially if you’re backpacking or travelling outside major cities.
At Holden’s Chemist Express Travel Clinics in Doncaster and Newark, we provide trusted
Vietnam travel vaccinations and expert advice to keep you safe and confident on your journey.
🌿 Recommended Vaccines for Vietnam
- Hepatitis A – essential for all travellers; spread through food and water.
- Typhoid – recommended for street food, rural stays, and backpacking.
- Hepatitis B – for longer trips, volunteering, medical visits, or close contact with locals.
- Rabies – important for trekkers, cyclists, and animal contact (dogs, monkeys).
- Japanese Encephalitis – for extended or rural travel in northern and southern Vietnam.
- DTP Booster – ensure your 10-year diphtheria, tetanus & polio booster is up to date.
🦟 Mosquito & Health Risks in Vietnam
Vietnam’s tropical climate means mosquitoes are active year-round. Diseases include dengue fever, Zika, and malaria.
- Use 50% DEET insect repellent — dengue mosquitoes bite during the day.
- Sleep under mosquito nets outside major cities.
- Ask about antimalarial tablets for higher-risk regions.
- Wear long, light clothing and use air conditioning where possible.
🥢 Food & Water Safety
- Eat freshly cooked, hot food — avoid raw or cold street food.
- Drink sealed bottled water; avoid ice unless you trust the source.
- Carry hand sanitiser and wash hands regularly.
- Ask us about traveller’s diarrhoea prevention kits.
