You may need vaccinations, special healthcare documentation or extra medical insurance - see below. Consult your Health centre about six weeks before travel for advice on vaccinations and anti-malarials.
Students going on fieldwork, please come as early as possible.
Yellow Fever is the only vaccine for which a certificate may be required for entry into a country, but the vaccine is also recommended for all travellers to endemic areas regardless of official requirements. Cholera immunisation is no longer officially required by any country and is not recommended as no vaccine is currently available. Vaccine recommendations will depend not only on the area to be visited, but the season, the length of stay and the lifestyle of the traveller. Malaria An increasing proportion of the cases of imported Malaria is due to the more severe falciparum malaria. Most have not taken, or have been poorly compliant with prophylaxis.
