Do I need vaccinations to visit India?

Page last updated 29 August 2023

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all travellers are up-to-date with their routine vaccinations including measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, influenza and pneumococcal. These vaccinations are given as part of the National Immunisation Program (NIP). For a full list please refer to the NIP schedule, available here.

Travellers to India who are aged 5 years or older should also ensure they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Other vaccine preventable diseases that are considered a risk in India include cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and typhoid. Your doctor will be able to let you know which vaccinations are recommended for you, based on the time of year, destination/s, activities planned and the duration of your stay.
