Although no mandatory vaccinations are required for entry into India, it is strongly recommended that routine vaccinations such as MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, chickenpox and polio be refreshed. Vaccinations against hepatitis A and typhoid are also recommended, as these diseases can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is advisable to talk to your doctor or a travel medicine specialist about your specific health requirements before traveling to Dalhousie.
