Travelling to Tanzania? Here is what you need.
Tanzania is a leading UK destination - Serengeti and Ngorongoro safaris, Kilimanjaro trekking and Zanzibar beaches. Yellow Fever certification is required if arriving from a risk country, and malaria is present nationwide except at high altitude on Kilimanjaro.
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Typhoid for most travellers to Tanzania, with Cholera, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal disease, Polio, Rabies, Tuberculosis and Yellow fever recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. Yellow Fever only applies for specific regional itineraries or travellers transiting via a YF-risk country in the six days before arrival. A Polio certificate can be required for stays over four weeks in a polio-transmission area.

A Yellow Fever ICVP is required only if you have been in a YF risk country in the previous six days. A Polio certificate can be required for stays over four weeks in a polio-transmission area.

Hepatitis A and Typhoid
Standard for all Tanzania 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 Tanzania - 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 is present in parts of Tanzania. NaTHNaC recommends vaccination for some travellers depending on itinerary - particularly jungle, forest and rural areas in risk zones. Single dose gives lifelong protection. Aqua is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and issues the ICVP in-clinic.
Meningococcal disease
MenACWY is considered for travel in the African meningitis belt and other meningococcal risk areas of Tanzania, 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 Tanzania. Reviewed at consultation.
Polio certificate
A Polio certificate can be required if you stay in Tanzania for more than four weeks. The 10-year Td/IPV booster covers this requirement.
Malaria
Malaria is present throughout Tanzania. 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.
