Africa Travel Immunisations Information Index

If you would like to check immunisation requirements for alternative countries use our quick link selector (right).

Before travelling to Africa you should check the health requirements for your Country of destination. Depending on how you plan to travel and where you plan to stay will potentially increase or decrease the health risks but we have provided general guidelines indicating which immunisations and medication you should take before your trip away.

You should consult your doctor 4-6 weeks before your departure but preferably 2 months before. This will allow time for the vaccines to take effect. If however your trip is less than 4 weeks away still see your doctor who may be able to give you alternative protections.

Immunisations such as hepatitis B can take up to 6 months to give full protection so it is never too early to see your local GP or practice nurse at your holiday or travel clinic.
