Health
Reference only, not medical advice. Food and water standards vary; use safe food/drink practices, especially outside cities or when hiking, and avoid untreated freshwater. Prevent bug bites: ticks, sand flies and mosquitoes can transmit infections. Summer heat/UV, high-elevation sun/cold, and mountain altitude can matter; pace hikes and hydrate.
Vaccinations
Consult a doctor or travel clinic before travel. Be up to date on routine vaccines such as MMR, polio, Tdap, flu, varicella, shingles when eligible, and COVID-19. CDC recommends hepatitis A for unvaccinated travelers and hepatitis B for many travelers; discuss rabies pre-exposure vaccine if animal contact, outdoor work, or remote travel is likely. Yellow fever vaccine is not recommended and not required for Georgia entry.
eSIM / connectivity
eSIM is broadly available from major Georgian operators. Magti offers eSIM and online ordering via MyMagti, Silknet/Geocell lists eSIM and tourist mobile packages, and Cellfie sells eSIM online with QR activation; all require an eSIM-capable, unlocked phone. Coverage is generally good in cities and main corridors, but mountain valleys can be patchy.
