Correct answer: DHepatitis-A vaccine for a previously unimmunised traveller to India

The best answer is “Hepatitis-A vaccine for a previously unimmunised traveller to India”. Hepatitis A risk is widespread and vaccination is routinely recommended for susceptible travellers; rabies, typhoid and Japanese encephalitis decisions depend on duration, location and activities. Travel vaccination is itinerary and risk based; hepatitis A is recommended for most previously unimmunised travellers to India, with additional vaccines determined by exposure.
