Before travelling to Bangladesh, ensuring you’re vaccinated for a safe and healthy trip is essential.
Make sure you’re up to date with your routine vaccinations. MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, chickenpox, polio, and the yearly flu shot.
You should also get vaccinated for Hepatitis A, as it’s common in Bangladesh and can be contracted through food or water. The Typhoid vaccine is recommended, too, especially if you’re visiting rural areas or are adventurous with your food choices.
Consider getting vaccinated for Cholera and Hepatitis B.
The Japanese Encephalitis vaccine is advisable if you’re planning outdoor activities in rural areas.
The Rabies vaccine might be needed for those engaging in adventure travel or spending a lot of time with animals. While there’s no malaria vaccine, prophylactic medication is recommended, as it’s present in some regions of Bangladesh.
Remember, it’s best to consult a doctor well before your trip. Ideally, 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure you get all the necessary vaccinations.
