Myself and my 3 dependants are traveling with direct flights from sa to zanzibar and back deprating 29 des 2019 and returning 7 jan 2020. is it necessary to get yellow fever shots and do we need to use malaria medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, probably: Today (November, 2019), travel to Tanzania, including Zanzibar, vaccination for yellow fever is recommended and malaria prophylaxis is recommended if going to lower altitudes. See this site, and check it again a few weeks before you go, to see if it has changed: https://tinyurl.com/ruktdyu Also see this for more precautions: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/tanzania
