South Africa - Destination Health
This information is for guide purposes only. Other health organisations may recommend alternative precautions.
Vaccination against yellow fever required if arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission .
Exempt from Yellow Fever vaccination:
Children under 1 year of age.
Passengers transiting countries with risk of yellow fever transmission for max. 12 hours and not leaving the transit area.
Passengers transiting Senegal and Ghana but not leaving the aircraft.
Holders of a certificate of contraindication on medical grounds, who will be placed under quarantine.
Recommended Health and Vaccination precautions:
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 as far south as the Tugela river. Risk is highest from October to May. Recommended prevention in risk areas: C.
In Timatic, the recommended type of prevention is referred to as:
- Type A (very limited risk of malaria transmission) - Mosquito bite prevention only.
- Type B (risk of P. vivax malaria only) - Mosquito bite prevention plus chloroquine chemoprophylaxis.
- Type C (risk of P. falciparum malaria with chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance) - Mosquito bite prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
- Type D (risk of P. falciparum malaria plus reported multi-drug resistance) - Mosquito bite prevention plus plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis, depending on local drug restistance.
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.
