Stay well protected during your trip to Nigeria
Besides vaccinations, there are other health measures that are also important for safe travel. Drink only bottled water and use it for tooth brushing as well, so that you do not get sick due to poor hygiene. Avoid raw or inadequately heated food for the same reason. In addition, malaria is prevalent all over Nigeria, so it is important to protect yourself well against mosquito bites with DEET, long clothing and mosquito nets. Malaria tablets are also strongly recommended. During your appointment at Vaccination Point we will be happy to advise you on this.
