Medical Precautions For Goa Traveller

Before You Travel

Most travellers to Goa usually experience nothing worse than upset stomachs during their trip. However it is necessary to take precautions in the form of proper immunisations and vaccinations.

Since some vaccinations require more than one injection and some others cannot be injected together, it is advisable to plan your vaccinations in consultation with your doctor well in advance of your trip. These can be then recorded on an International Health Certificate which is to be carried along with you. Entry into India requires yellow fever vaccinations especially when coming from an infected area.

Other suggested vaccinations include the following:

Hepatitis A
Diphtheria & Tetanus
Meningoeoccal Meningitis
Typhoid
Hepatitis B
Polio
Rabies
Japanese B Encephalitis
Tuberculosis
Malaria

Also make sure that you have adequate health insurance before you embark on your trip.
