Depending on the activity you are going to do in Thailand, you have to take into account what types of vaccinations for Thailand you need to get. To this factor you also have to add the length of your stay and whether you are apprehensive or not.
Let’s look at the data from the Spanish Ministry of Health regarding vaccines for traveling to Thailand .
Vaccines for Thailand from the Ministry of Health
The following vaccines are part of Spain’s vaccination schedule . If you don’t know if you have them, you can check with your vaccination center in your city.
- MMR: will protect you from measles, mumps and rubella. It is given from childhood, but it is always good to check.
- Hepatitis A : same as the previous one, you should already have it on.
- Typhoid Fever: This vaccine for traveling to Thailand protects you from the virus produced by Salmonella.
To find out the price of vaccines for Thailand, you must check the type of vaccine at your vaccination center, since some have a cost and others are free.
Other recommended vaccines
Anger
It is transmitted through animal bites. In Thailand there are stray dogs, cats and other animals that you can find in the jungle, so it is good to have this vaccine to be prepared.
Hepatitis B
It is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse or contaminated materials. It is not a strict vaccine for traveling to Thailand , but it is recommended if you plan to have sex.
Malaria in Thailand
Mosquito bites transmit it and although there is no vaccine, there is a prophylaxis that must be taken before and during the trip to prevent it.
In truth, the risk is almost zero throughout Thailand , but if you are going to be in the middle of the jungle for several days, far from civilization, there may be a minimal risk.
Dengue
This virus is also transmitted by mosquito bites during the day, and it is common to find them in places where there is water. Currently there is no vaccine and what is done is to avoid mosquito bites, this is achieved by using mosquito protection and thin, long clothing that covers most of the body.
Zika
Regarding this virus, Thailand is at moderate risk. It is also transmitted by mosquitoes and we will follow the same recommendations as for Dengue since there is no vaccine: mosquito spray and long clothing.
