Why Are Travel Vaccines Important for Asia?
Asia is diverse, with health risks varying between countries, climates, and urban or rural settings. Some diseases are endemic in certain regions, while others may become more common during particular seasons, such as the monsoon.
Many vaccinations are recommended or required to protect you from serious illnesses and ensure you meet any entry regulations where applicable.
At Bromley Travel Clinic, we will assess your travel plans and personal health needs to create a bespoke vaccination schedule.
