Taiwan is a popular East Asia trip for UK travellers: Taipei city breaks, Taroko Gorge hiking, Sun Moon Lake, and food tours through Tainan and Kaohsiung. Most travellers spend time in well developed cities with excellent healthcare, but rural and summer travel adds a few specific risks worth covering before you fly.
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B for most travellers, plus Japanese Encephalitis for anyone spending time in rural areas or rice growing regions, particularly between May and October when mosquito activity peaks. Standard UK boosters (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, MMR) should also be up to date.
Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC registered premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under Superintendent Pharmacist Sanjay Mukundkumar Patel (GPhC 2045157). We can usually fit you in same week, vaccinate, and give written itinerary specific advice in a single appointment.
