Vaccinations for Ghana

To ensure a safe and healthy trip, it is essential to get vaccinations for Ghana – vaccination requirements can be fairly rigid, and failure to comply with these requirements could result in detention at the airport, or even seriously illness.

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.

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.

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.

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.
