MediClinic is equipped to deal with all your vaccinations for travel in Africa. Because visitors encounter a number of epidemic diseases in African countries, it’s important that you immunise yourself and your family against potentially serious health risks. MediClinic’s private practices in South West London (Wimbledon) and Surrey (Guildford) will vaccinate recommended travel vaccinations for Egypt in the north, South Africa in the south, and Kenya and Gambia in the east and west.

Health risks in Africa include Diphtheria, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis, Hepatitis A and B, Rabies, Meningitis, Malaria, Tuberculosis and Yellow Fever. Some of these diseases are often contracted in highland, safari regions, and require preventative vaccinations or medicines. MediClinic is equipped to deal with all your travel queries, for which your consultation is free on the purchase of a travel vaccine (excluding Saturday morning). Feel protected while you enjoy the wildlife and the beaches in South Africa, simply by enquiring at MediClinic about the best vaccination for travel to Africa. 

A sample of currently recommended travel vaccinations/ medications (as of September 2009) for popular African destinations include:

EGYPT - Hepatitis A and Typhoid, Diphtheria Tetanus and Polio

GAMBIA - Hepatitis A and Typhoid, Diphtheria Tetanus and Polio, Yellow Fever, Malaria

KENYA - Hepatitis A and Typhoid, Diphtheria Tetanus and Polio, Yellow Fever, Malaria

Please note: Travel Vaccination requirements can change according to area and current outbreaks of disease.  Please discuss full requirements with MediClinic team during your consultation.

Sub-Saharan Africa is a Malaria hotspot, responsible for 90% of the world’s documented cases. Travel to Kenya or Tanzania requires Malaria vaccination, for example Malarone tablets, and some general knowledge on how to repel the insects during the warm African evenings. For your hiking or wildlife tours, MediClinic recommends that you purchase Tetanus vaccines for safe exploring. 

Ensure that you’re protected from Hepatitis A and Typhoid when you travel to Egypt to visit the pyramids and sail up the Nile, simply by visiting MediClinic to receive our recommended vaccinations. As a certified yellow fever vaccination centre, MediClinic can supply you with the required Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Diphtheria, Polio and Tetanus vaccines before you travel to Egypt in northern Africa.
