Do I need Yellow Fever for Namibia?

Only if you are arriving from a Yellow Fever risk country (most of sub-Saharan Africa or tropical South America). If you are flying directly from the UK, you do not need it. Aqua can sign and stamp your ICVP if needed.

Do I need malaria tablets for Namibia?

Only if your itinerary covers the Caprivi Strip, Kavango or northern Etosha, especially November to June. Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and the south are malaria free year round.

Is Rabies really worth it for a two week trip?

For self-drive trips, yes. You will often be hours from a hospital and post-exposure treatment in remote Namibia is difficult to source. The pre-exposure course buys you time and simplifies treatment if you do get bitten.

How soon before my trip should I come in?

Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before departure, especially for the Rabies course. Even 2 to 3 days before departure is worthwhile for Hep A and Typhoid.

Travel vaccines for Namibia - at a glance

Hepatitis A and Typhoid

Standard for all Namibia 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 Namibia - 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.

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 Namibia. Reviewed at consultation.

Malaria

Malaria risk varies by region in Namibia. We check your itinerary against NaTHNaC and either prescribe atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine for higher-risk areas, or confirm you do not need cover. Bite avoidance advice (DEET, long sleeves at dawn and dusk) is included.
