Health and vaccinations

Vaccinations, malaria, bringing medication and insurance.

Vaccinations are recommended for India; which ones depends on your destination, length of stay and health. Make an appointment with the municipal health service (GGD) or another travel clinic well before departure.

If you bring medication covered by the Dutch Opium Act, such as some sleeping pills, painkillers and ADHD medication, you need a legalised certificate. Also check that your health and travel insurance cover India.
