Tropical regions in our travel destinations include for example Mozambique, Eswatini, Malawi and Botswana. It is recommended to keep routine vaccinations up to date, including polio. Additionally, hepatitis A and B vaccinations are advisable. Please inform yourself about your malaria prophylaxis due to the year-round risk in some regions. Wearing long clothing in the evenings and using mosquito repellents suitable for tropical regions is recommended. Detailed information on immunization and malaria is available on the Foreign Office’s website or through a travel medicine consultation of your choice.
