Yellow Fever Certificate Requirements

  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate required for travellers over the age of 1 year of age arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (with the exception of Central African Republic and South Sudan in Africa and of Panama in South America) and for travellers having transited more than 12 hours through the airport of a country with risk of yellow fever transmission (with the same exceptions mentioned above). The certificate of yellow fever vaccination is valid for life in this country.

    • Malaria Information

    Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. You cannot be vaccinated against malaria.

    Malaria precautions

    • Malaria risk is present throughout the year. Risk is highest in Gracias a Dios, though a few cases of the serious form of malaria are also reported from Colon, Islas de la Bahia, Olancho, North-East Yoro and Eastern Atlantida. In these areas antimalarial tablets are not usually recommended, however, they can be considered for certain travellers who may be at higher risk (see below under Low risk with additional advice). 
    • Low to no risk in all other areas.
    • Check with your doctor or nurse about suitable antimalarial tablets.
    • See malaria map – additional information can be found by clicking on the Regional Information icon below the map.
    • Variable risk areas: Chloroquine and/or Proguanil is usually advised.
    • Low risk areas with additional advice: antimalarial tablets are not usually recommended, however, they can be considered for certain travellers who may be at higher risk e.g. longer stay in rural areas, visiting friends or relatives, those with medical conditions, immunosuppression or those without a spleen. Chloroquine and/or Proguanil is advised for those at risk.
    • Low to no risk areas: antimalarial tablets are not usually advised.
    • Malaria precautions: avoid mosquito bites by covering up with clothing such as long sleeves and long trousers especially after sunset, using insect repellents on exposed skin and, when necessary, sleeping under a mosquito net.
    • If you have been travelling in a malarious area and develop a fever seek medical attention promptly. Remember malaria can develop even up to one year after exposure.
    • If travelling to high risk malarious areas, remote from medical facilities, carrying emergency malaria standby medication may be considered.
