Whether exploring Gauja National Park or strolling along Jurmala’s sandy shores, Latvia captivates with its blend of history, culture, and unspoiled landscapes.

Common Medications

Traveling to Latvia requires preparation for potential minor health issues.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Latvia, ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. While Latvia poses a low risk for serious diseases, travelers should consider Hepatitis A and B vaccines, particularly if they plan to dine in rural areas or have prolonged stays. Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a regional concern for outdoor enthusiasts visiting forests or grasslands during warmer months. Vaccination against TBE and the use of insect repellents can minimize risks. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider based on your travel plans.
