It is always wise to ensure your routine immunizations are up to date before any international travel. These include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), and your yearly flu shot.
Iceland has no malaria, no dengue, and no other vector-borne diseases that require prophylaxis or special precautions. There are also no venomous snakes or dangerous wildlife to worry about.
If you have specific health conditions or concerns, consult your physician before traveling. Iceland's healthcare system is modern and capable, but knowing your medical needs in advance makes for smoother travels.
