Inoculation regulations can change at short notice. Please take medical advice in the case of doubt.
1A yellow fever certificate is required from travellers over one year of age arriving from infected areas.
2Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is no longer a condition of entry to Tunisia. However, sporadic cases of cholera do occur in this region and up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should include vaccination, as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness; see the
Health appendix for further information.
3Vaccination against typhoid is advised.
Healthcare
Health insurance is recommended. Tunisia has a well-developed, if somewhat limited, public health service. There are a few private 'polyclinics' available in the larger towns, which function as hospitals and provide a range of procedures. Some doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payments before treatment.
