The Seychelles

Risk / Health Info for The Seychelles

Do I need vaccinations for The Seychelles?

You will need a few immunisations for The Seychelles. These include vaccinations for hepatitis A and typhoid, which will protect you against two unpleasant GI illnesses. You can further protect yourself against diarrhoeal illness by observing good personal hygiene and by taking care over what you eat and drink.

Some groups of travellers should consider a hepatitis B vaccine. These include:

  • children
  • frequent travellers
  • long-stay travellers
  • healthcare workers.

Hep B is also contracted through recreational intravenous drug use and unprotected sex. Another infection route is invasive medical or cosmetic procedures. If any of these apply to you, ask your advisor about a vaccine to protect you against hepatitis B. A combined vaccine for hepatitis A and hepatitis B is available.

What healthcare facilities are there in The Seychelles?

There are healthcare facilities in The Seychelles, but access on remote islands may be limited.

The emergency number in The Seychelles is 999.

If you take medications be sure to bring a supply for your entire trip and include enough to account for any delays.

How can I stay safe in The Seychelles?

You should bring your own sun screens and insect repellents to The Seychelles as they can be expensive to buy. Insect repellent is particularly important as there are a few mosquito-borne illnesses you can catch in The Seychelles.

Do I need a yellow fever certificate for The Seychelles?

If you have come from a county with a risk of yellow fever transmission, you will need a yellow fever certificate. Discuss your itinerary with your travel health advisor to work out whether you will need a yellow fever vaccination and certificate for your visit to The Seychelles.

Dengue fever in The Seychelles
There have been cases of the mosquito-borne virus dengue fever in The Seychelles. 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. Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellents (50% DEET) and by wearing protective clothing. Sleeping with mosquito nets is also recommended.
Malaria in The Seychelles
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of The Seychelles 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.
