It is usually mild, but can be serious in young infants and older adults. The chickenpox virus spreads from person to person through the air, or by contact with the fluid from the blisters on the body. Some people will still catch chickenpox despite being vaccinated. However, the disease will be a mild form with few blisters, compared to people who have not had the vaccine. Chickenpox vaccination should be used with caution if you come in regular contact with pregnant women (who have never had chickenpox or have never received vaccination), or people with a weak immune system. This is because the vaccine can cause (although rare) small spots and blisters which are infectious to appear on the body. Women who are pregnant should not receive the chickenpox vaccine. Pregnancy should also be avoided for one month after vaccination. The vaccine consists of two doses which are given four to six weeks apart.

The influenza vaccine protects against influenza. There are many different types of influenza viruses, and the circulating strains change constantly; hence an annual or per season vaccination is recommended.

Children who have not been vaccinated previously against influenza will require two doses with an interval of four weeks. The influenza vaccine is recommended for the adults aged 65 years and above, person with specific medical condition such as diabetes, chronic heart disease or respiratory conditions and frequent travellers.

Some people may need a fourth dose (or more) to build up adequate immunity to the disease. Pre-vaccination Hepatitis B screening is compulsory.

If your screening was done more than six months before, you will be required to undergo the test again before vaccination can be given.

If your trip is of a more extensive nature, you may want to discuss the required/recommended vaccinations as well as travel health advice for the activities you are planning for your holiday with a travel health doctor. This service is available at the Travellers’ Clinics in most hospitals. It is ideal that you schedule your vaccination appointment four to six weeks before your planned departure date. Most vaccines take time to become effective and some vaccines must be given in a series and will offer you protection only after two to three doses. Parents are advised to accompany their children and teenagers for vaccination appointments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) encourages travellers to e-register themselves before travel.
