Take this 2-minute quiz to find out what protection you need
Ready to get protected for your Thailand adventure?
Book Your ConsultationPlanning a trip to Thailand? You’re probably excited about Bangkok temples and Phuket beaches, not thinking about which jabs you need. The reality is Thailand’s tropical climate harbours diseases that simply don’t exist in the UK.
Last year, we vaccinated many Kent residents for Thailand travel. Most were surprised to learn that even luxury resorts in Phuket carry risks. Getting the right vaccines isn’t red tape, it’s about avoiding a Thai hospital when you should be enjoying pad thai.
Cox Heath Pharmacy has been sorting out Thailand vaccinations for Kent residents. We’re at 97 Heath Road in Coxheath, and whether you’re coming from Maidstone, Ashford, or anywhere in Kent, we’ll get you protected properly.
Not everyone needs every vaccine, but some are strongly recommended for Thailand travel.
Thailand has shifted from high to low endemicity for Hepatitis A due to improving sanitation, but sporadic cases still occur through contaminated food and water. That street food you're excited about? That's your risk right there. One jab protects for a year, booster after 6-12 months covers you for life.
Typhoid fever incidence in Thailand was estimated at 1.13 cases per 100,000 population in 2022, down from 8.6 cases per 100,000 in 2003[3]. Still endemic though, especially if you're eating local. The injection protects for 3 years.
Your childhood boosters might be out of date. Tetanus spores are found in soil worldwide, and boosters are recommended where correct treatment of injuries may not be readily available[1]. Rusty nail on the beach? Coral cut while snorkelling? You'll want this protection.
JE vaccine is recommended for travellers spending ≥1 month in Thailand or those with increased risk due to rural activities[4]. Essential for:
Risk is higher where access to adequate sanitation and safe water is limited[1]. Consider if:
Government-sponsored mass vaccination campaigns have reduced rabies prevalence in Thailand, but small risk persists[4]. Those temple monkeys look cute until they bite. Essential for:
Required for travellers aged 9 months or over arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission[1]. Only if coming from Africa/South America.
Rarely needed unless you're doing aid work or visiting refugee areas.
