IMMUNIZATIONS:

Please be sure to check the CDC Health & Safety Guide for Tanzania for updated information about vaccinations and health concerns, and check with your medical provider or travel clinic about your individual requirements.

The CDC  recommends that all travelers visit a doctor at least one month before their trip and be up-to-date on routine vaccinations. In addition, the CDC recommends a measles vaccine for:

    • People 12 months old or older, with no evidence of immunity or no written documentation of any doses: 2 doses of MMR vaccine before travel. The 2 doses must be given 28 days apart.
    • People 12 months old or older who have written documentation of 1 dose and no other evidence of immunity: 1 additional dose before travel, at least 28 days after the previous dose.

In addition to being up-to-date on routine vaccinations, the CDC also recommends that most travelers be vaccinated for Hepatitis A and Typhoid. It is recommended that some travelers be vaccinated for Cholera, Hepatitis B, Rabies, Yellow Fever* and take prescription medication before, during and after their trip to prevent Malaria. Please be sure to check the CDC’s website for more information on malaria in Tanzania here.

*Country entry requirement: The government of Tanzania requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever (this does not include the US – see complete list: Countries with risk of yellow fever virus (YFV) transmission).

For more information on recommendations and requirements, see yellow fever recommendations and requirements for Tanzania. Your doctor can help you decide if this vaccine is right for you based on your travel plans.
