Yellow Fever Certificate Requirements

  • No yellow fever vaccination certificate required for this country.
  • Malaria Information

    Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. You cannot be vaccinated against malaria.

    Malaria precautions

    • Malaria risk is low and from May to October inclusive, in areas along the border, especially in rural areas of El Hasaka Governorate. There have been no indiginous cases reported since 2005.
    • Malaria precautions are essential. 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.
    • Low to no risk areas: antimalarials are not usually advised.
    • If you have been travelling in a malarious area and develop a fever seek medical attention promptly. Remember malaria can develop even up to one year after exposure.
