No two travellers are the same. Whether you need certain vaccines comes down to these factors — and we confirm it all at a quick risk assessment.

City and resort areas carry different risks to rural and remote regions.

How long you're staying

A short holiday is very different to a long stay or backpacking trip.

Trekking, animal contact, healthcare or aid work all change what you need.

Time of year

Some risks are seasonal — like Japanese Encephalitis or meningitis.

Your age & who's travelling

Children, older travellers and pregnancy can need a different plan.
