At present no vaccinations are currently required unless you are arriving from an area infected with yellow fever or cholera, when it is necessary to have the appropriate vaccination, at least 10 days before entry. However, it is recommended that polio, tetanus, hepatitis and typhoid immunisations are up to date and you take area specific anti-malarial tablet and only drink bottled water. Please note medical facilities are available in all major towns in Bhutan.
