HEALTH INFO

We advice you to check with your GP or to visit a travel health clinic in your country at least 8 weeks before you travel.

DO YOU NEED ANY VACCINATION?

Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-polio vaccine, varicella  and (chickenpox) vaccine.

For participants traveling from tropical countries a yellow fever vaccination/certificate is required as part of the visa process and health checks at the immigration. 

MALARIA

You will need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent malaria. Your doctor can help you decide which medicine is right for you, and also talk to you about other steps you can take to prevent malaria. See more detailed information about malaria in Nigeria.


Malaria precautions: avoid mosquito bites by covering up with clothing such as long sleeves and long trousers especially after sunset, using insect repellents on exposed skin and, when necessary, sleeping under a mosquito net.
