Staying healthy

- A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by travellers over 1 year of age arriving within 6 days from infected areas.
- Vaccination against typhoid is advised.
- Immunisation against hepatitis A and B is recommended.

Mains water is normally chlorinated, and whilst relatively safe may cause mild abdominal upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay. Drinking water outside main cities and towns may be contaminated and sterilisation is advisable. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
