Travel Info What immunization or shots do i need if im traveling to africa? Travel Tips Depending on which parts of africa you are going to.... Yellow fever, Typhoid and maybe rabies. Make sure tetanus shots are up to date. And for heavens sake, TAKE ANTI-MALARIAL PROPHOLACTICS! I strongly advise against larium, it has some bad side effects. Read up on malaria, it's symptoms, prevention and cure. The most popular malarial drug we take once we have malaria is coartem with a course of doxycyclin anti biotics. Source(s): Personal experience Other Travel Tips Anti-malaria Chicken pox Titanus Heptitis B & A The above vaccinations are enforced.I think there are more. Consult the embassy of the country you'll be visiting and they will give you vaccinations reuqirements for entry. I know of Yellow fever, Tetanus, Hepatitis. Thats all i know for now. If i get more, you'll be d first to know about it. www.climaxtours.net Depends on where you're going and what you will be doing. Beach holiday in The Gambia and you probably don't need any. Doing volunteer work in a remote jungle villiage and you need many. Some countries require Yellow Fever. Malaria is no fun. I get nearly all of them and attach the innoculations record to my passport. Then I can run across the border to any country I want in Africa with a proper visa. I usually get the visa for other African countries from the initial one I am in. Why? Because the cost is far cheaper than me getting such visas in european countries or America. I do not get the rabies vaccination because it does not last long and is very, very expensive. |
