Compulsory vaccinations for South Africa

South Africa has no mandatory vaccinations. Nevertheless, you may need a yellow fever vaccination if you arrive from a country where this disease is prevalent. Important here is that the vaccination in that case is submitted at least 10 days before arrival - so check this carefully when you travel!

Keep in mind the right measures for optimal health

Besides vaccinations, in South Africa it is important to take extra measures for your health and protection. Wear covering clothes and use mosquito repellent with DEET to prevent diseases such as malaria, especially in high-risk areas. Always drink clean, purified water to avoid gastrointestinal problems - and be careful with food from street vendors. Ensure proper protection from the strong sun with sunscreen and a hat.

Tip: bring a basic first-aid kit and check your health insurance for medical coverage during your trip.

Short waiting times! At the GGD the queue was a month and a half, here I could go after just one week. Good service, quickly arranged, and it was covered directly by my insurance, what more could you want. Didn't get sick on the way.

Great organisation for travel vaccinations, online everything to plan and you can also call if you have questions. At this location, you can go in the evening (also) and good parking at the location. The nurse gave comfort and was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Settlement with insurance was automatic. Highly recommended!
