Some groups of travellers should consider a hepatitis B vaccine. People who travel often or who plan to stay for a while in Equatorial Guinea should consider a hep B jab. Also, children and healthcare workers.

Rabies occurs in Equatorial Guinea and if you are going to a remote region or if you will be working with animals, particularly bats and dogs, consider getting this vaccine. Children should also be vaccinated against rabies as they may get bitten while playing with animals, often on the face or neck. Seek urgent medical advice about an animal bite or scratch in Equatorial Guinea, even if you have been vaccinated.

Equatorial Guinea is in the African meningitis belt so think about getting a meningococcal meningitis vaccination, particularly if you are travelling during the dry season (December to June). The bacteria that causes meningococcal meningitis is spread person-to-person through respiratory droplets.

What hospital facilities are there in Equatorial Guinea?

There have been cases of the mosquito-borne virus dengue fever in Equatorial Guinea. Dengue fever is also known as breakbone fever because of the severe bone, joint and muscular pains it causes, in addition to flu-like fever and headache. There is no vaccine for dengue fever.

Malaria in Equatorial Guinea
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of Equatorial Guinea at certain times of year.
