Immunizations for Overseas Travel to Botswana

Botswana has generally high levels of hygiene. Drinking water from the tap is safe throughout the country. And if you prefer bottled water is readily available. No specific foreign travel immunizations are compulsory if you arrive from North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia. But it is wise to ensure that your polio and tetanus shots are up to date. It is also recommended that you have a Hepatitis A immunization.

For travel to Botswana, you need to take anti malaria pills (get your doctor�s advice on the best one for you), sleep under a mosquito net, use insect repellents. Malaria carrying mosquitoes are active between dusk and dawn so have on long sleeve shirts and long pants then.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is necessary if you�ve come from a country where the disease is endemic. For example, Kenya, Tanzania or tropical South America. If you are going to another African country first and need the yellow fever shot, remember that a yellow fever certificate only becomes valid ten days after you�ve had the shot.
