India is a colorful destination that attracts visitors with its rich culture, history, nature, and culinary experiences. Before your trip, make sure your vaccinations are up to date.

For longer stays or travel with lower hygiene standards, vaccines against hepatitis B, typhoid, and cholera may also be relevant. Malaria prophylaxis may be needed depending on your destination.At VaccinDirekt, we specialise in travel vaccinations and personalised advice. We assess your travel plans, previous vaccinations, and the current health situation in India to ensure you get the best possible protection.

For full protection, it's important to start your vaccinations well in advance - ideally at least one month before departure.

Travel pharmacy: Bring any essential medications from home
Insurance: Check that your health and travel insurance provides coverage abroad
Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (UD): Read the latest travel advice on Sweden Abroad
