- See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
- Malaria exists in some areas: ask a travel clinic about prevention.
- Don't drink tap water: drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice of unknown origin.
- Rabies exists: avoid stray dogs, cats and monkeys. If bitten or scratched, see a doctor the same day.
- Medical care is limited: travel insurance with medical evacuation is strongly recommended.
These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
