Vaccinations Turkmenistan

Planning a trip to Turkmenistan soon? Preparing well can help make your holiday enjoyable and safe. It is important to note that visiting Turkmenistan carries certain health risks, so vaccinations are recommended and may even be mandatory. The vaccinations you will need depend on factors such as the regions you will be visiting and the length of your stay. Simply make an appointment with us to get personalised travel advice.

Turkmenistan is located by the Caspian Sea and shares borders with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. The coastal region has a desert climate, which transitions into a steppe climate further inland. The country is low-lying and consists largely of desert. Winters can be extremely cold, while summer temperatures can reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius. Additionally, temperatures can vary greatly within just one day. To avoid the extreme heat, the best time to visit is March, April, May, September, and October.
