Health & vaccines

  • A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a country at risk: check the official rules.
  • See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
  • Tap water is treated, but most people drink filtered or bottled water: do the same.
  • Dengue is common: use mosquito repellent.
  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
