Can I get a Yellow Fever vaccination upon arrival in Uganda?

Typically, travelers to Uganda must have a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate as a prerequisite for entry. Vaccination is an important measure to prevent the spread of the disease. It is often mandatory for individuals arriving from or transiting through countries with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission.

While some countries may offer vaccinations upon arrival at specific entry points, checking whether Uganda provides this service in advance is advisable. Obtain the Yellow Fever vaccine well before traveling, as the immunization process involves a waiting period before it becomes effective. Travelers should consult with their healthcare provider or visit a travel clinic to ensure they meet all vaccination requirements and have the necessary documentation before embarking on their journey to Uganda.
