Health Requirements

Tanzania requires proof of a yellow fever vaccine. Not every place has them so start checking your local sources now as some places are not open currently, have limited hours, or limited access to yellow fever vaccines.

You will also want to be sure all other immunizations are up to date.  Plus, consult with your healthcare provider that is giving you the yellow fever vaccine if you want a prescription anti-malaria medications.

You will need to bring your proof of the vaccine along with your passport and visa.

COVID:  As covid-19 continues to bring many challenges, many international flights require proof of vaccine and a negative test within 48 hours of travel.  For travelers from the United States make sure to visit the Center for Disease Control website for the most up-to-date information.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends seeing your doctor for immunizations four to six weeks before your travel date.  Your doctor will make sure your regular vaccines, like tetanus and Hepatitis A and B, are up to date and make recommendations on other vaccines you may need for your trip, so bring your itinerary along to your appointment.

It is highly recommended that if you require special prescription medications that you bring a week’s supply with you on carry-on and then, depending on the quantity, pack the rest  in your luggage.
