Do I need vaccinations before travelling on the Trans-Siberian?

There is a small chance of catching the tick-borne disease Encephalitis from May until the end of July when trekking in Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk or other rural locations. Vaccination is recommended for those that have planned outdoor activities. Other than this, please consult a qualified medical practitioner for advice relevant specially to you.

Please visit our Vaccines and Health page for more information about the vaccines you need on your journey.
