Overview
Singapore is malaria-free and requires no vaccine to enter from Belgium. Wanda does not recommend hepatitis A for every traveller here: it is the basic vaccines (DTPa, polio, MMR) that need to be current, with a polio booster for travellers aged 16 and over. The everyday risk comes from urban mosquitoes, which spread dengue, chikungunya and zika; Japanese encephalitis occurs all year round. A measles outbreak is under way.

Prepare your trip
Leaving in under 2 weeks? Still book a clinic: a first hepatitis A dose already protects, and yellow fever needs at least 10 days. A travel clinic will prioritise what fits your timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Is any vaccine required for Singapore?
No vaccine is required if you arrive directly from Belgium. Yellow fever is only asked for if you come from (or transit through) a country where it circulates.
Is there a malaria risk?
Malaria: no risk.
How far ahead of departure should I start?
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before departure, to complete multi-dose schedules. Yellow fever, where it applies, must be given at least 10 days before arrival.
Our sources
Indicative information for a typical traveller, not medical advice. What you need depends on your itinerary, region, season and duration. See an approved travel clinic 6–8 weeks before departure: only they can give yellow fever and issue the certificate.
Entry requirements: Yellow fever is not needed when you travel from Belgium. It becomes exceptionally compulsory if you have been in certain countries in the six days before arrival: the vaccine must then be given at least ten days before arrival by an approved centre and recorded in an international certificate of vaccination.
