Vaccines for Vietnam

What you need before you go.

Personalized recommendations based on where you're from, where you're going, and what you're doing.

No vaccines are required to enter Vietnam. But several are strongly recommended, especially for longer trips or rural areas.

Get vaccinated in Vietnam

Didn't get your shots before arriving? Travel vaccines — Hepatitis A, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis and rabies — are widely available in Vietnam at VNVC centres nationwide and the Pasteur Institute (HCMC, Nha Trang), plus international clinics, usually same-day.

No traveler vaccine for dengue

No traveler vaccine exists for dengue or malaria. Prevention is your defense for dengue. Malaria pills are only for remote/forested travel — ask your doctor.

How to protect yourself from dengue →

Timing matters

Some vaccines need 6–8 weeks to take effect.

Rabies + JE need 2–3 doses over weeks — book your travel clinic 6–8 weeks before departure.

Entry rule

The one entry rule: Vietnam asks for a yellow-fever vaccination certificate only if you arrive from (or recently visited) a country with risk of yellow-fever transmission in Africa or South America. Coming straight from a yellow-fever-free country, you don't need it.
