Yellow fever vaccination is not required.
Infection typically occurs through contact with the saliva of an infected animal, usually by bites, scratches or licks near open wounds or membranes (mouth, nose, eyes). The most common vectors are dogs and bats, but cases of infection in other domestic animals have also been reported.
Caused by toxins released by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, the risk of contracting tetanus is endemic throughout the country.
Diseases such as Chikungunya, Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever, Rift Valley Fever are found in West Asia. Transmitted by insect bites and with no vaccine, it is important to implement careful, preventive behavioural measures.
The following vaccinations are strongly recommended as these diseases can be contracted anywhere in the world. Experts advise that you protect yourself and other travellers by making sure you are up-to-date with all of the recommended vaccinations. This will allow you to travel safely, while minimising the risk of exposure to infection.
