Protect yourself with the Thailand BASIC vaccination package before your trip

The package includes:

• A qualifying consultation with a travel medicine doctor for just PLN 1 (included in the price of the package);
• Vaccinations against:
  • Hepatitis A – Commonly known as the “dirty hands disease,” this viral infection is transmitted primarily through the digestive tract. It is especially prevalent in areas with poor hygiene and in tropical climates;
  • Typhoid fever – A bacterial infection of the digestive system caused by Salmonella typhi. It typically spreads through contaminated food or water. Vaccination is strongly recommended before traveling to regions with elevated sanitary and epidemiological risks;
  • Infectious diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis or tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis + polio are taken care of through a combined vaccine that protects against three or four serious illnesses. A booster dose is recommended if your last vaccination was more than 10 years ago, due to waning immunity.

During your consultation, the travel medicine doctor will also provide personalised guidance on vaccinations and health safety measures, taking into account your destination and planned activities, as well as advice on how to put together a travel first aid kit. The doctor will also prescribe anti-malarial medication (if necessary) and provide you with instructions on how to take it.

We recommend starting your vaccinations 6 to 8 weeks before your trip.

• In addition to getting vaccinated, it’s important to follow other key health precautions:
• Use mosquito repellents to protect against mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, Zika virus, and malaria;
• Prevent gastrointestinal infections by:
  • Drinking only bottled, boiled, or microbiologically treated water;
  • Brushing your teeth with safe water (boiled or treated);
  • Washing your hands thoroughly before every meal;
  • Avoiding fruits with peel, raw salads, undercooked meat, and food from unverified or low-standard street vendors;
• Avoid contact with animals to reduce the risk of rabies.

Vaccination will not be administered in the following cases:

• The patient has an acute infection with severe symptoms, a fever above 38.5 °C, or a flare-up of a chronic illness;
• The patient has previously experienced a severe allergic reaction to a vaccination;
• The patient has a known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine;
• The patient is still within the protective period of a prior vaccine with the same or similar immunological profile, and the doctor determines that a second dose is not necessary.

In such cases, the doctor will either postpone the vaccination until the symptoms subside or the patient’s health stabilizes, or withhold vaccination entirely if there are absolute contraindications.

Important! During your consultation with a travel medicine doctor, it may become clear that there are contraindications to a specific vaccine, or the doctor may recommend a different vaccine than the one included in the package. Vaccination schedules may also vary depending on the patient’s age and vaccination history.

• Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
• The service is available only at the medical facility specified in your purchase order.
• The vaccine is administered immediately after the qualifying medical consultation.
• If you are not eligible for vaccination following the consultation with the travel medicine doctor, you will receive a full refund of the package price. The refund will be issued using the original payment method.
• If you are not eligible for a specific vaccine, you will be refunded the nominal value of that vaccine, based on the Medicover Medical Centre price list, reduced by 25%.
• If you are not eligible for two or more vaccines, you will receive a full refund of the package cost, issued via your original payment method. You may still choose to purchase the vaccines separately, according to the current Medicover price list at the chosen facility.

You can receive your vaccinations within 3 months from the date stated in your order confirmation.
