Health & vaccines
- See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
- Don't drink tap water: drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice of unknown origin.
- Hospitals and pharmacies may be damaged, overwhelmed or short of medicines: bring everything you need, with prescriptions.
- A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a country at risk: check the official rules.
- Malaria exists in some areas: ask a travel clinic about prevention.
- Many travel insurances do not cover countries their government advises against: check your contract before you go.
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.
