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)
