Vaccinations for Sri Lanka?

The NHS has good info on required and recommended vaccinations. Once you have this info, speak to your GP as he/she will suggest the best brand based on your health (to make sure there are no adverse affects).

It relies upon the position you're stepping into Sri Lanka - in case you'd be in Colombo you do not favor to take malaria pills. I travelled for the time of Sri Lanka and not took malaria pills and that i changed into positive. that's a own determination extremely - now and again the consequences of the pills are extremely undesirable...and that i have acquaintances that, at the same time as they were given malaria (in Indonesia), in basic terms offered the pills there and took them for 3 days and that labored positive. All medicine in Sri Lanka is a lot more lower priced then interior the U. S. and easy to arise with once you're there. with reference to vaccinations, i'd get Hepatitis images. i imagine there might want to correctly be another that i'm able to't bear in mind. And definite there are a variety of of mosquitos so deliver some DEET spray.. they are extra demanding than something else. Have an extremely good holiday - Sri Lanka is wonderful!

The recommended vaccinations for travel to Sri Lanka are Malaria, Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Your GP can advise you further and provide these, there may be a charge.

Td (Tetanus and Difteria), Polio, Typhoid Fever and Hepatitis A if you stay shorter than 3 months. For stays longer than 3 months Hepatitis B and Rabies vaccination is also recommended.
