Stay well protected during your trip to Russia
Besides vaccinations, there are other precautions to take to stay healthy in Russia. Think about using mosquito repellents in summer and good protection against ticks when staying in wooded areas. Bring a first-aid kit and pay attention to hygiene when eating and drinking, especially outside major cities. Tick bites can cause serious diseases, such as tick-borne encephalitis. Prevent this by wearing covering clothes and checking yourself daily for ticks.
