  • Destination Health- Exempt from Yellow Fever vaccination: Children under 1 year of age and adults 60 years of age.
  • Recommended: Malaria prophylaxis: malaria risk, mainly due to P. falciparum, exists throughout the year in the low altitude areas of Limpopo Province, Mpumalanga Province (including the Kruger National Park) and north-eastern Kwazulu Natal. Risk is highest from October to May. Recommended prevention in risk areas: C.  The WHO recommended type of prevention is referred to as:
    - Type A (very limited risk of malaria transmission) - Mosquito bite prevention only.
    - Type B (risk of non-falciparum malaria) - Mosquito-bite prevention plus chloroquine or doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
    - Type C (risk of P. falciparum malaria) - Mosquito-bite prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycycline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
    Chemoprophylaxis should be started preferably one week before departure and no later than the first day of exposure; it must be taken with unfailing regularity and continued for 4 weeks after the last exposure. No prophylactic regimen is 100% protective against infection, but even if it fails to prevent the disease it may, nevertheless, render the infection milder and less life threatening.

It is important for all visitors to experience all phases of the Island, to realize that the Island is a place of pain and a place of triumph and victory.
