Steps

  1. Consult a qualified travel-health clinician early and share your full route, transit stops, trip length and activities.
  2. Review current WHO and destination-specific public-health information, including routine vaccination status.
  3. Ask whether your itinerary creates a yellow-fever certificate requirement, especially after travel or long transit through a risk country.
  4. If vaccination is advised or required, use an authorised clinic and keep the original International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.
  5. Carry medicines in original labelled packaging with prescriptions or supporting letters where appropriate.
  6. Check travel insurance, emergency-care arrangements and current outbreak notices before departure.
