What vaccinations do I need for Goa?

Page last updated 29 August 2023

Goa is renowned for its beautiful beaches and thriving party scene. However, Goa does pose some risk of diseases to travellers.

Much like the rest of India, the recommendation is that you are up-to-date with your routine vaccinations, and as well as your hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations. Depending on how long you are staying and what activities you are doing, other vaccines might be needed.

Let your doctor know if you have planned particular activities, such as sports, visiting locations where animals are present, or getting a tattoo or piercing. Your doctor will be able to let you know which vaccinations are recommended for you based on this information, as well as the season in which you are travelling and the duration of your stay.
