Health
& Medical Requirements
If you have
recently visited a Yellow Fever infected area you are required
to have a valid vaccination certificate which must be taken on
holiday with you.
Malaria is
present and you are also advised to take a course of anti-Malarial
pills.
We strongly
advise you to reconfirm your vaccination requirements with your
own/family doctor. Vaccines are currently available for many infectious
diseases. The immunity from vaccines is never immediate or total
and it can take some weeks to get full protection. In addition
it could take several trips to your doctor so you must plan your
vaccinations WELL IN ADVANCE. See Department
of Health
Full medical
and pharmaceutical facilities are not always available in Kenya
and if you use special or particular prescriptions you are advised
to take sufficient supplies with you.
Please ensure
you take all of your valid vaccination certificates on holiday
with you as you could be asked to produce them at the airport.
Lastly and
most importantly, you should never travel to a foreign country
without taking Holiday and Travel Insurance. You may also consider
taking temporary membership of the Flying Doctors Society which
will entitle an seriously injured or seriously ill person to free
emergency evacuation by air from any part of Kenya to Nairobi
where there is a hospital of international standard.
