Vaccination Requirements for SA travel
« on: December 15, 2008, 07:05:28 AM »
For those who have recently traveled to SA.....

For US-based travelers, what vaccinations are required/recommended before you enter S. Africa?

Thanks,

JC

Nothing's required beyond what you would have had to get for being in the U.S.; all but the extreme North are sub-malarial -- certainly if you're on a golf tour you will miss the fun spots! 

But go in for the hep series at least (multiple visits -- requires a few months). FWIW, in my experience doc-in-the-boxes seem to know better than regular docs. Maybe they get more travelers or see more immigrants...

Here's what the CDC says:
