Vaccinations
You should get a yellow (WHO) card and have the yellow
fever vaccinations and any other mandatory vaccinations
entered on your yellow card before travelling to Benin.
The yellow fever vaccine is required before entering the
country and your vaccination certificate will be examined
at your point of entry. It is also recommended that you
get vaccinated against hepatitis and typhoid fever. Depending
on the length of your trip, you may want to look into getting
tuberculosis, tetanos, meningitis, and polio vaccinations.
Malaria is a serious health risk while
you travel around the interior of Benin but a standard daily
or weekly tablet, which should be prescribed by your doctor,
will normally prevent this infection.
