Immunizations?

Question

Do I need any immunizations before going on holiday in Tunisia?

Answer 1

There are no Required Vaccinations for travel to Tunisia unless you are coming from an area with Yellow Fever, in which case you will be required to present proof of having had a yellow fever vaccination.

Recommended (but not required) vaccines include: Routine (such as for influenza, chickenpox, polio, measles/mumps/rubella, and diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus) vaccinations, Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid , Rabies, and Polio. To have the most benefit, you should see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect.

These are shots you should be up to date with anyways, whether you travel or not.

When I moved from America to Tunisia I didn't take any vaccines and I was/am fine.

You can read all the latest info on the website for the Centers for Disease Control. http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationTu...

Just a little note about health care here: we have EXCELLENT health care, and it is dirt cheap! A trip to the ER is 10TDN (4.18GBP). A doctor is more expensive (still cheap), being between 15-30TDN (6.27-12.54GBP).

If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 2

Hi,

There's no required inoculations but it's recommended that you inoculate yourself for yellow fever.

And you'll need a health certificate - it's a good idea to go for a check up with you doctor before you leave anyway.

Hope that helps.

Ciao for now.
