What Vaccinations to get before Kenya?

Before travelling to Kenya, it is recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist to determine which vaccinations and other preventive measures you may need based on your individual health status and travel plans.

1. Yellow fever: This vaccination is required for all travellers entering Kenya from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. It is recommended for all travelers over the age of 9 months.

3. Hepatitis A: This vaccine is recommended for all travellers to Kenya, especially those who will be staying for an extended period of time, traveling to rural areas, or engaging in outdoor activities.
4. Hepatitis B: This vaccine is recommended for all travelers to Kenya, especially those who may have intimate contact with locals, receive medical treatment, or engage in any activity that may result in contact with blood or body fluids.
5. Rabies: This vaccine is recommended for travellers who will be engaging in outdoor activities, working with animals or visiting remote areas.

In addition to vaccinations, travellers to Kenya should take other precautions to protect themselves from diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, including taking antimalarial medication, using insect repellent, and wearing protective clothing.
