What kinds of immunizations are necessary?
The Centers for Disease Control has a very helpful section on travel to East Africa on its website at www.cdc.gov/travel. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to speak with your doctor before getting any shots. Some health insurance companies will reimburse the costs of travel immunizations. Antimalarial medication is highly recommended, and again we urge you to discuss with your doctor which would be best for you. Plan ahead for getting your vaccinations, as some require more than one injection.
