Vaccination

No vaccination is obligatory to come to Mongolia. Nevertheless you will travel in a remote zone of the world. So take some precautions. Vaccinations that Institut Pasteur recommends:

• Diphteria, poliomyelitis and tetanus

• Hepatitis A (if you travel a lot)

• Typhoid (if you fear for risks)

• Hepatitis B (for long or repeated travels)

• Rabies (for solo travellers or adventurous tours)

• Tick encephalitis (for the pony treks in Khovsgol in May, June ade July)
