A yellow fever vaccination is a requirement for entering India if you have been staying in a yellow fever zone within six days before coming here. This is mostly relevant for people who have stayed in an African or South American country during this time. Please check https://www.who.int/ith/en/ for information on yellow fever risk areas. This website https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/disease-prevention-advice/yellow-fever/yellow-fever-risk-areas could also be helpful.
Apart from that, the German Robert Koch Institute recommends the following vaccinations for short-term travel in India:
- Hepatitis A
- Typhus
- Poliomyelitis
Malaria or Dengue is not a danger in the altitude levels of Kashmir. If you’re also staying in other parts of India at lower altitudes, taking Malaria prophylaxis and getting a vaccination against Dengue fever is worth considering.
