Yellow Fever – Mandatory for Entry
Ghana requires proof of Yellow Fever vaccination from all travellers aged 9 months and above. You must present your Yellow Fever certificate (ICVP) on arrival. We provide this vaccine and the certificate on-site.

Hepatitis A
Strongly recommended due to water and foodborne transmission risks.

Typhoid
Advised for most travellers, particularly for extended or rural stays and where eating local food is likely.

Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio (Td/IPV)
Make sure your booster is up to date (every 10 years).

MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella)
Ensure you’ve received two doses, especially with ongoing global outbreaks.

🧪 Additional Vaccines Based on Itinerary

Hepatitis B
Recommended for longer visits, healthcare work, or close contact with local populations.

Rabies
Consider if you’ll spend time in rural areas, around animals, or are staying long-term.
