Travel vaccines for Ecuador - at a glance
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A and Tetanus for most travellers to Ecuador, with Hepatitis B, Rabies, Tuberculosis, Typhoid and Yellow fever recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. A Yellow Fever ICVP is required only if you have been in a YF risk country in the previous six days. Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy.
Hepatitis A
Standard for Ecuador travel. Food and water route. One dose protects for around 12 months; a booster extends cover to around 25 years.
Rabies
NaTHNaC recommends pre-exposure rabies vaccination for some travellers to Ecuador - particularly rural trips, longer stays, backpackers, cyclists, children, VFR travellers and anyone likely to have close animal contact. At Aqua we use the three-dose pre-exposure schedule on days 0, 7 and 21-28 (UK Green Book standard). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) - if you are bitten or scratched abroad, wash the wound thoroughly and go straight to A&E, NHS 111 or a local hospital for post-exposure treatment.
Yellow Fever
Yellow Fever is present in parts of Ecuador. NaTHNaC recommends vaccination for some travellers depending on itinerary - particularly jungle, forest and rural areas in risk zones. Single dose gives lifelong protection. Aqua is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and issues the ICVP in-clinic.
Hepatitis B
Three-dose course (0, 1, 6 months) recommended for longer stays, medical or dental procedures, tattoos, piercings and new sexual partners abroad. An accelerated schedule is available for shorter lead times.
Tuberculosis (BCG)
Considered for long-stay work in healthcare, community immersion and family travel with young children in higher-risk regions of Ecuador. Reviewed at consultation.
Malaria
Malaria risk varies by region in Ecuador. We check your itinerary against NaTHNaC and either prescribe atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine for higher-risk areas, or confirm you do not need cover. Bite avoidance advice (DEET, long sleeves at dawn and dusk) is included.
