Travel Vaccines in Nepal

Which travel vaccines do you need?

Travel vaccine requirements depend on your destination, activities, duration, and health history. Some vaccines are legally required for entry — yellow fever for parts of Africa and South America, meningococcal ACWY for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Others protect against diseases endemic at your destination.

Common travel vaccines from Nepal include: yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A, meningococcal, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, and routine boosters (tetanus, MMR, flu).

Timing before travel

Ideally visit 4–6 weeks before departure — some vaccines need multiple doses over weeks, and certificates take time to become valid. The yellow fever certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Last-minute travelers can still be protected — even a single dose close to departure provides meaningful protection for most vaccines.

International certificates (ICVP)

We issue the official WHO International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) — the yellow card required at international borders. Yellow fever certificates are valid for life; meningococcal certificates for Hajj/Umrah have specific validity windows.
