Vaccines and health

Recommendations depend on age, health, stopovers, regions and season.

In addition to routine vaccines, hepatitis A and itinerary-specific protection often need discussion with a travel medicine professional.
  • Assess hepatitis A/B, typhoid and rabies according to trip length, food exposure and areas visited.
  • Review Japanese encephalitis or malaria protection for relevant rural stays.
  • Use strong mosquito protection and seek medical advice for fever after returning.

Driving locally

An international driving permit is a translation: it never replaces your valid French licence.

Carry the French licence together with an international driving permit and check which convention the country recognises.
