Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for all travelers over 9 months of age from at-risk countries or who have transited for more than 12 hours at airports in at-risk countries.
Hepatitis A is generally transmitted through contaminated food and water, or through close physical contact with an infected person, while hepatitis B is transmitted through exposure to infected body fluids and blood.
Infection typically occurs through contact with the saliva of an infected animal, usually through bites, scratches or licks near open wounds or membranes (mouth, nose, eyes). The most common vectors are dogs and bats, but cases of infection in other domestic animals have also been reported.
Caused by toxins released by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, there is an endemic risk of contracting tetanus throughout the country.
Bacterial in origin, typhoid fever is transmitted through contaminated food and drink, especially in regions where sanitation conditions are poor.
Tuberculosis is an airborne disease of bacterial origin. Vaccination is recommended for all travelers at risk of developing severe symptoms or of coming into contact with infected individuals. It is likewise recommended for all travelers under the age of 16 who plan to reside in the country for more than 3 months.
Malaria, transmitted by mosquito bites, is a risk particularly in rural areas. As a vaccine is not yet available, you are advised to take both behavioural and, following medical consultation, pharmacological preventive measures.
Diseases such as Chikungunya, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Rift Valley Fever are found in Western Asia. Transmitted by insect bites and with no vaccine, it is important to take preventive measures with behavioural prophylaxes.
The following vaccinations are strongly recommended as these diseases can be contracted anywhere in the world. Experts advise that you protect yourself and other travellers by making sure you are up-to-date with all of the recommended vaccinations. This will allow you to travel safely, while minimising the risk of exposure to infection.
A state in western Asia, it is bordered on the north by Georgia and Russia, on the west by Armenia, and on the south by Iran. It faces the Caspian Sea to the east.
