Travel Vaccinations
Does anyone know all the relevant vaccinations needed to travel to uganda from the uk?
I don't believe there are any required vaccinations for visiting Uganda, other than Yellow Fever if you're coming from a country where Yellow Fever is present (which the U.K. is not).
However, according the U.S.-based CDC (although I'm sure it's very similar for anyone for the U.K.), it is recommended that you have your routine vaccinations, yellow fever, hep A, hep B, typhoid, meningococcal (if you're visiting from Dec to Jun), and polio.
Malaria is also a risk throughout Uganda, and the malaria is chloroquine-resistent. You should take anti-malarials while you are there.
