Russia is a limited-tourism destination currently dominated by diaspora, business and journalism, focused on Moscow, St Petersburg and the Trans-Siberian. Vaccine needs are moderate; tick-borne encephalitis is a real consideration for summer travel in the west and Siberia.
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A and Tetanus for most travellers to Russia, with Rabies, Tick-borne encephalitis, Tuberculosis and Typhoid recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary.
Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC-registered premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy. We are a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and can usually fit you in same-week for Russia travel vaccines. Book online in 60 seconds.
