What vaccinations do I need for Fiji?

Page last updated 29 August 2023

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all travellers are up-to-date with their routine vaccinations including; measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, polio, influenza and pneumococcal disease. These vaccinations are given as part of the National Immunisation Program (NIP). For a full list please refer to the NIP schedule, available here  In some cases, you may need a booster or re-vaccination against a disease to ensure you still have immunity.

Everyone aged 5 years and older is recommended to ensure they are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations before travel.

There is an increased risk of contracting hepatitis A and typhoid in Fiji, both of which can be contracted through contaminated food or water. Depending on where you are staying and what activities you have planned, a vaccination against hepatitis B may also be recommended.

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.
