Kenya is a beautiful country full of wonders. It has many interesting places, amazing sights and magnificent natural scenery. For many tourists, Kenya has become the best option for vacation, therefore more than 300 tourists from Europe come here daily. In this article, we will talk about the most important - safety and health during the holidays, or rather, what vaccinations you need to do to travel to the magnificent Kenya .
When should I get vaccinated?
Before you do all the necessary vaccinations, you should consult a doctor, if only for you to make appropriate certificates. The most important first procedure is to test the necessary vaccines for allergic reactions. What for? We explain. As a rule, the outbreak of yellow fever is very rare in the countries of Europe and the CIS, so a small dose of vaccines may be dangerous for you (especially for children). Usually such an event takes place 20-17 days before departure.
If after testing the vaccine everything was fine and there were no deviations, then vaccination should be done 12 to 10 days before the flight.
What vaccinations are needed?
The list of necessary vaccinations for a trip to Kenya is small. It includes the following diseases:
- diphtheria (type DTP);
- yellow fever;
- hepatitis A and B;
- polio;
- malaria;
- the Ebola virus.
Remember, getting vaccinated before you leave is not only a necessary process for passing to the territory of Kenya, but also a very important step to preserve your health. The consequences of infection are really deadly.
After vaccination, you will be given a certificate and a certificate of vaccination. These documents are considered valid for 10 years and are their own "pass" not only to Kenya, but also to other countries in Africa.
