Do you need any vaccinations for South Africa

Thanks

Hi

I suggest you have a look at the NaTHNaC website which lists suggested vaccinations by country. You should then discuss your requirements with your GP or practice nurse. (If your surgery has a travel clinic, even better.)

In the main south africa tour I was advised to have Tetnus, Hepititus B and thyphoid.
No need for maleria unless I went on the Zambia add on.
The best thing to do is go to your local community nurse at your doctors for advice

I went on this trip last Feb. and we definitely DID need malaria tabs before going to Kruger, so suggest you see your GP.

It's a great trip.

I'm on the South Africa tour at the moment (in Swaziland today) and can confirm that you definitely need to have malaria tablets from Kruger onwards. As for the other jabs as said before you need to consult your GP.
To those who have booked this trip - you're in for an incredible holiday - not much sleep but lots of amazing sights!
