A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is often required in The Gambia if you’re arriving from Senegal or another country where Yellow Fever is prevalent. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing.
It is recommended you visit your doctor or travel clinic for up to date advice and make sure to schedule vaccinations 4-6 weeks before your departure date, as some require time to become effective.
