Nature lovers can enjoy the stunning beaches, national parks, and wildlife reserves, including the famous Pink Lake, where the water changes color throughout the day. Senegal is also known for its delicious cuisine, which features a mix of African, French, and Arabic influences. With friendly locals, a rich cultural heritage, and plenty of opportunities for adventure, Senegal is a must-visit destination for any traveler.
Senegal Immunization Recommendations and Requirements
Before traveling, make sure you are up-to-date on all of your routine immunizations including influenza and COVID-19. Note that many vaccines that are now considered "routine" were not available until recent decades so you may not have received them at all, depending on your age and other factors.
Infants, 6 to 11 months old should receive one dose of MMR and Hepatitis A prior to visiting Senegal. This does not count toward routine childhood immunizations.
