New Zealand attracts visitors with its breathtaking nature, adventure sports, and vibrant cities. Before your trip, it's important to review your vaccination protection.

We always make an individual assessment based on your travel plans, previous vaccinations, and the current health situation to ensure you receive the best possible protection for your trip to New Zealand.

Get vaccinated in time
For full protection, it's important to start your vaccinations well in advance - ideally at least one month before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses, while others need time to take effect. Have you booked a last-minute trip or forgotten your vaccinations?

Health advice for New Zealand
New Zealand has high hygiene standards, but the climate and outdoor activities mean you should take care of your health. The sun is very strong due to the thin ozone layer, and ticks can be present in some areas.
Use sunscreen and drink plenty of water
Protect yourself from ticks during outdoor activities
Important things to keep in mind
In addition to vaccinations and mosquito protection, remember:
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
Local healthcare: Find out where to seek medical care if needed during your trip
Before your visit, you’ll need to fill in a health declaration - either digitally or on-site. If you’re vaccinating a child, don’t forget to bring the consent form.
