It is important to plan your trip to Namibia and be prepared.
Various areas may require a vaccination and it is sensible to prepare by visiting a TRAVEL DOCTOR and discussing the Current World Health (WHO) Alerts that may be tabled for Namibia.
By seeing a Travel Doctor prior to travel and discussing your potential vaccination needs and how that relates to your current personal health situation and how vaccinations will effect any medications of conditions you may have makes the most sensible strategy. Ensure you have a certificate of all vaccinations administered and keep that record at all times.
Also, upon retuning to Australia and providing the Immigration Officer with your Vaccination record will make your declaration straight forward and provide the Quarantine Officers with the necessary information necessary for your readmission.
