Vaccinations for Ethiopia

It is vital to have vaccinations for Ethiopia – vaccination requirement are fairly numerous, for good reason.

While you may not encounter all the potential health threats on your journey, it is essential to ensure that you are fully vaccinated to ensure good health on your travels.

Hepatitis A and B and typhoid shots are vital, while rabies shots are also recommended. Travellers coming in to contact with domestic or wild animals should take this shot as a precaution.

Yellow fever inoculations are essential for travellers over 1 year of age to enter the country, and travellers may be forced to have this shot at the airport at a charge or refused entry if they do not have their certificate.

A one-time polio booster is a must for any adult traveler who completed the childhood series but did not have a polio vaccine as an adult.

Two measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) shots are recommended for travelers born after 1956 who haven't had MMR shots. A tetanus-diphtheria revaccination is also recommended every 10 years.
