Algeria

Risk / Health Info for Algeria

What vaccinations do I need for Algeria?

You will need a few shots for Algeria, so discuss this with your healthcare provider. Injections for the GI illnesses hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended if you are travelling in Algeria. These diseases are easily picked up in places where sanitation and hygiene standards are not what you are used to in Canada and the U.S.

Tetanus is another vaccination to consider before visiting Algeria. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that is picked up when tetanus bacteria, often from the soil, enters an open wound. Tetanus bacteria releases toxins into the bloodstream that can damage the nervous system to such a degree that death results. You should get a tetanus booster every ten years, if you are travelling to a high-risk area with limited medical facilities.

Rabies is endemic in Algeria so consider a vaccine against rabies. Rabies can be contracted from dogs, cats, monkeys and bats. Children are particularly at risk from animal bites and should be vaccinated against rabies if they are travelling to country where it is a problem. Cyclists and runners may be at elevated risk, too. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal in Algeria, you should see a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

What are the healthcare facilities like in Algeria?

Algeria’s private clinics are generally a better choice, than government-run facilities. Be aware that it may be hard to access healthcare if your travel plans include remote areas.

Malaria in Algeria
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of Algeria at certain times of year. There is no malaria vaccine, but there are anti-malaria drugs that should be taken before, during and after travelling to certain at-risk countries. Speak with your healthcare provider six weeks before your trip, as not all prophylaxis regimes are appropriate for all regions and all individuals.
Altitude in Algeria
Parts of Algeria are higher than 2,400m, and travellers planning to spend time at a high altitude should take steps to protect themselves against the potentially life-threatening acute mountain sickness. Your healthcare provider can help with this.
Schistosomiasis in Algeria
The schistosomiasis parasite enters humans through the skin during contact with fresh water. To prevent infection, avoid swimming or paddling in lakes and streams in Algeria. This condition is also known as bilharzia.

About Algeria

Algeria lies on the Mediterranean coast of north Africa. It has vast areas of unspoiled territory and 1,200km of coastline, but its tourism infrastructure is somewhat undeveloped. Large areas of the country are now protected as national parks, for example Tassili n'Ajjer National Park, where you could see prehistoric cave art and rock arches.
