What injections do you need for Thailand?

W hen it comes to injections that are needed to visit Thailand, they generally fall into two different categories. These two categories are the vaccines that are necessary for immigration purposes or to get a visa, and injections that are a good idea to have due to the prevalence of diseases in the country. Plan ahead for your trip to Thailand to ensure that you have enough time to get all of your vaccines before embarking on your flight.
