Book GGD travel vaccination advice before a summer Asia trip

Once the flights are booked, travel vaccinations and medicine paperwork are easy to forget. GGD Reisvaccinaties is the official Dutch travel health route, useful before Asia trips, tropical destinations, family visits abroad or multi-country itineraries.

• Time and place: the GGD appointment page lets you plan personal travel advice and vaccination consultations; locations vary by region and summer slots can fill quickly.
• Best for: travellers going to tropical areas, families with children, people visiting relatives abroad, backpackers and anyone unsure about old vaccination records.
• Before you go: prepare your destination, travel dates, transit countries, vaccination history and medical details; even with a late departure, check whether a slot is available.

Hokimi field note: the appointment is not only about getting injections; sometimes the useful result is knowing that your trip needs no extra steps.
