Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a paradise of raw natural beauty and deep cultural traditions, offering travelers a unique mix of adventure and relaxation. This Pacific island nation is known for its active volcanoes, with Mount Yasur providing one of the most accessible lava-spewing craters in the world. Beneath the turquoise waters, pristine coral reefs make Vanuatu a top destination for diving and snorkeling, while lush jungles and cascading waterfalls invite exploration on land. Beyond its landscapes, Vanuatu is home to vibrant cultural traditions, from ancient tribal customs to the awe-inspiring land diving ritual on Pentecost Island—a predecessor to modern bungee jumping. Whether you're sipping locally grown Tanna coffee, visiting a traditional village, or simply soaking up the laid-back island atmosphere, Vanuatu offers an unforgettable escape for those seeking both adventure and cultural immersion.

Common Medications

Traveling to Vanuatu requires preparation for tropical conditions and potential health concerns. Antimalarial medications like Malarone or Doxycycline may be recommended for certain regions, and antibiotics such as Azithromycin can be useful for treating traveler’s diarrhea. Motion sickness medication is advisable for those taking boat trips between islands, while antihistamines and pain relievers can help with minor allergic reactions and discomfort. Runway Health provides an easy way to secure travel medications through online consultations with U.S.-licensed physicians, ensuring you're well-prepared for a safe and worry-free adventure.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Vanuatu, ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Additionally, Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are strongly recommended, as well as typhoid for those planning to visit rural areas or eat street food. Dengue fever is a concern in Vanuatu, as there is no vaccine available. Travelers should take precautions by using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and staying in accommodations with mosquito netting.
