Summary of recommendations:

In general, no special immunizations or medications are necessary for travel to Australia. However, insect repellents and other measures to prevent mosquito bites are strongly advised for many areas, especially the Northern Territory and Western Australia, because of the risk of Murray Valley encephalitis, Ross River virus infections, and other mosquito-borne illnesses.


Vaccinations:

Influenza

Recommended for all travelers from May through October

Yellow fever

Required for travelers entering Australia within 6 days of having been in or passed through a yellow-fever-infected area in Africa or the Americas. Not recommended or required otherwise.

Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

Two doses recommended for all travelers born after 1956, if not previously given

Tetanus-diphtheria

Revaccination recommended every 10 years
