Travel Vaccinations for South East Asia
Tailored travel vaccinations, malaria advice and yellow fever certificates for Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and beyond, all from one appointment in Crewe.
South East Asia covers Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and Bali, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar and Singapore — from temples and street food to beaches, rainforests and city breaks. Each destination suits different trips, from beach holidays to backpacking, diving and jungle trekking.
Travel-health advice depends on where exactly you're going, how long you're staying and what you plan to do. A resort holiday in Phuket differs from trekking near remote forests or multi-country overland routes. The same core protection covers most itineraries, and one consultation can cover several countries. At Crewe Travel Clinic our nurse reviews your itinerary, activities, vaccination history and health, then talks you through a tailored plan following current NHS and TravelHealthPro guidance. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy (reg. 1029608) and registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, we provide travel vaccinations, malaria tablets, yellow fever vaccination and ICVP certificates, plus clear advice on illnesses that vaccines don't cover.
Recommended vaccinations for South East Asia
Grouped by how widely they are advised. Tap any vaccine for full details and our price — your exact list is confirmed at your consultation.
Recommended for most travellers
Hepatitis A Vaccination
from £50Spread through contaminated food and water, which is a genuine risk across most of the region, so this is advised for almost all travellers.
Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio Vaccination (Revaxis)
from £35A combined booster is recommended if it has been ten years or more since your last dose, keeping your routine UK protection current.
Typhoid Vaccination (Typhim Vi)
from £35Recommended for most travellers given the standard of food and water hygiene, especially on longer trips, street-food adventures and travel outside the main resorts and cities.
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Vaccination
from £50Make sure you have had two lifetime doses, as measles still circulates in parts of the region and protection is worth confirming before any trip.
Recommended for some travellers
Hepatitis B Vaccination
from £50Considered for longer stays, healthcare or aid work, adventure activities, tattoos or piercings, new relationships, or anyone who may need medical or dental care while away.
Rabies Vaccination
from £75Worth considering as rabies is present in dogs, monkeys and bats across much of the region; pre-travel doses simplify treatment if you are bitten or scratched far from a reliable clinic.
Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination (Ixiaro)
Mosquito-bornefrom £95Considered for stays of around a month or more, or shorter rural and rice-growing trips during the transmission season, where mosquitoes spread the virus.
Malaria — tablets, not a vaccine
Malaria risk is patchy; many cities and main tourist spots including Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bali, Phuket, Koh Samui and Hanoi are no or low risk, where bite avoidance is recommended instead of tablets. Higher risk is in specific rural, forested and border areas such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar borders, rural Cambodia and Laos, parts of rural Indonesia and the Philippines including Palawan. In these areas, antimalarial tablets like atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine may be recommended alongside bite avoidance. We confirm whether you need antimalarials at your consultation based on your exact route.
Yellow fever & certificates
There is no yellow fever risk in South East Asia, so the vaccine is not recommended for health protection in the region. However, several countries require proof of vaccination if you're arriving from, or have recently transited through, a country with yellow fever risk — usually for travellers aged 9 months and over. This typically applies if your wider trip includes Africa or South America, not if flying directly from the UK. As a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, Crewe Travel Clinic can advise on these requirements and provide vaccination with an ICVP certificate where needed.
Check certificate requirementsOther health risks to plan for
Dengue and chikungunya
Dengue is common throughout South East Asia, especially in towns and during/after the wet season. These mosquitoes bite mainly during the day, so use DEET-based repellent, cover up and consider a treated net. There is no routine vaccine for most travellers.
Food and water hygiene
Travellers' diarrhoea is the most common illness. Drink bottled or properly treated water, avoid ice of unknown origin, and choose freshly cooked hot food. Pick busy street-food stalls with high turnover, maintain hand hygiene and carry a simple travellers' diarrhoea kit.
Rabies and animal contact
Rabies is present in dogs, monkeys, cats and bats. Avoid animal contact; if bitten, scratched or licked on broken skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical advice urgently, whether or not you've had pre-travel rabies vaccines.
