Specializes in Psychiatry

Travel to India: CDC recommends Heptatits A, Typhoid Vaccine & all routine vaccinations before travel to India. Some people may take Malaria prevention medication (visiting low altitude locations). In some specific cases Hepatitis B & Japanese Encephalitis might be recommended. These were recommendations as of 20 June 2014.
