Why You Need Travel Vaccines for Kenya

Kenya’s diverse landscapes — from savannah and mountains to cities and coastal resorts — mean travellers may be exposed to:

• Food- and water-borne illnesses (Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera)

• Mosquito-borne infections (Yellow Fever, Malaria*, Dengue)

• Animal-related risks (Rabies, Tetanus)

Not every traveller needs every vaccine — our clinicians will advise based on your itinerary and travel style.
