Basic health information for travelers to Vietnam

Most pharmacies inside the country are well stocked but all travellers to the region are still advised to bring along any specially required medicine in the event of an emergency.

• Japanese Encephalitis, rabies and Avian Influenza (Brid Flu) have been reported in Vietnam. Malaria is common in urban areas of Vietnam.

• A clear copy of the prescription and the reason for the medicine is advised for taking the drugs into the country through customs safely.

• All travellers should seek medical advice before travelling to the country and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up to date.
