 Prevention

Yellow fever

Yellow fever vaccination is not required.

Hepatitis A and B

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.

Rabies

Infection typically occurs through contact with the saliva of an infected animal, usually by 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.

Tetanus

Caused by toxins released by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, the risk of contracting tetanus is endemic throughout the country.

Chikungunya, Dengue, West Nile virus

These diseases are spread by mosquito bites and there is no vaccine. Therefore, it is important to implement careful, preventive behavioural measures.

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.

 Territory and climate

Overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the North Atlantic, formed by the approximately three hundred islets that make up the archipelago of the same name.

Coral in origin, these are the northernmost such islands in the world, developed on a volcanic oceanic base. The climate is temperate, with mild winters (15-20°C) and warm but airy summers (with peaks up to 30°C in July-September). Rainfall is heavy and, combined with frequent cyclones between June and November, can cause serious disruptions and emergency situations.
