Cote D'ivoire

Risk / Health Info for Cote D'ivoire

What inoculations do I need for Côte d'Ivoire?

You will need a few immunizations for Côte d'Ivoire. There are vaccines to protect you against food- and water-borne diseases such as typhoid, cholera and hepatitis A. As well as getting vaccinated you can also reduce your risk by drinking only boiled or bottled water and by practising good hygiene.

Some groups of travellers should consider a hepatitis B vaccine. If you travel frequently, are a child or are planning a long stay, your risk of catching hep B is elevated. Healthcare workers may also want to get a vaccination against hepatitis B.

Another vaccine for travellers planning a long stay is rabies. It is contracted through the saliva of an infected animal, often a dog or a bat. Seek urgent medical advice for an animal bite or scratch, even if you have been vaccinated. The health care professional attending you will assess the risk and, if necessary, arrange for a post-exposure vaccine.

Côte d'Ivoire is in the African meningitis belt so think about getting a meningococcal meningitis vaccine, particularly if you are travelling during the dry season (December to June) when the dust makes respiratory infections very common.
