right for you, then he or she will issue you a Yellow Fever Card, also called an International

• It must be on business letterhead paper.

• It must be signed by a doctor.

• It must be stamped using the same stamp that the doctor uses on a Yellow Fever Card.

• It must give the medical reason why you cannot get the vaccine, say how high the risk is,
and cite an authority. (For example: Mrs. Smith cannot receive the yellow fever vaccine

Medication Suggestions

• An antibiotic medication for gastrointestinal illness

• Prescription pain medication in the unlikely event of an injury in a remote location

• Motion sickness medicine, if you are susceptible (the roads are very bumpy).

• Anti-malaria medication for Tanzania and Kenya. Check with the CDC and your doctor

• Optional: Allergy and/or asthma medication. The roads can be very dusty which can
trigger allergies or breathing complaints that may require prescription medications.

Traveling with Medications

• Pack medications in your carry-on bag to avoid loss and to have them handy.

• Keep medicines in their original, labeled containers for a quicker security screen at the
airport and a better experience if you get stopped by customs while overseas.

• Bring copies of your prescriptions, written using the generic drug name rather than a
brand name to be prepared for any unforeseen loss of your medications.
