Reported Cases of Yellow Fever in Eastern Africa Region
Due to reported cases of yellow fever in the region, the Tanzania Government has introduced a regulation that requires all travelers arriving in Tanzania via ports and/or airports to carry a proof of vaccination against yellow fever. Failure to present the proof of vaccination will result in compulsory yellow fever injection to be taken at the time of arrival in any Tanzania ports and/or airports and travelers to be subsequently observed for a period of seven to 10 days. However, due to lack of holding facilities at ports and/or airports, travelers will be allowed entry with a requirement to report back to the Ministry of Health within seven days after taking the vaccination. The Tanzania regions and districts health officials have been requested to strengthen infectious disease surveillance based in the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) guidelines that stipulates Yellow Fever as an epidemic prone disease.
