Are vaccines required for visiting Dubai?
For visiting Dubai, no special vaccinations are required unless you are arriving from a region with a high risk of infectious diseases. However, it is recommended to have standard vaccinations such as hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. I checked my vaccination status before the trip and consulted with a doctor. This is a general recommendation for travelers to ensure safety and health during the journey.
