Travel vaccines for Ghana - at a glance
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A, Tetanus, Typhoid and Yellow fever for most travellers to Ghana, with Cholera, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal disease, Rabies and Tuberculosis recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. Yellow Fever vaccination is required for entry. Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy.
Hepatitis A and Typhoid
Standard for all Ghana travel. Available as Viatim (combined, one injection) or as separate vaccines. Hepatitis A protects for around 12 months from one dose and around 25 years with a booster. Typhoid protects for around 3 years.
Rabies
NaTHNaC recommends pre-exposure rabies vaccination for some travellers to Ghana - particularly rural trips, longer stays, backpackers, cyclists, children, VFR travellers and anyone likely to have close animal contact. At Aqua we use the three-dose pre-exposure schedule on days 0, 7 and 21-28 (UK Green Book standard). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) - if you are bitten or scratched abroad, wash the wound thoroughly and go straight to A&E, NHS 111 or a local hospital for post-exposure treatment.
Yellow Fever
Yellow Fever vaccination is required for entry to Ghana. A single dose gives lifelong protection. Aqua Travel Clinic is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and issues the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) in-clinic on the day.
Meningococcal disease
MenACWY is considered for travel in the African meningitis belt and other meningococcal risk areas of Ghana, particularly during the dry season. Single dose, five years of cover.
Hepatitis B
Three-dose course (0, 1, 6 months) recommended for longer stays, medical or dental procedures, tattoos, piercings and new sexual partners abroad. An accelerated schedule is available for shorter lead times.
Cholera (Dukoral)
An oral two-dose vaccine considered for prolonged rural, humanitarian or outbreak-area travel. It also provides useful cover against some travellers' diarrhoea.
Tuberculosis (BCG)
Considered for long-stay work in healthcare, community immersion and family travel with young children in higher-risk regions of Ghana. Reviewed at consultation.
Malaria
Malaria is present throughout Ghana. The pharmacist reviews your itinerary and prescribes atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine in the same appointment. Bite avoidance (DEET at least 30 percent, long sleeves at dawn and dusk, treated nets) is the essential daily defence.
