Uganda
Uganda, also known as the "Pearl of Africa," is a beautiful and diverse country located in East Africa. It is home to stunning landscapes, including the famous Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where visitors can trek to see endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Uganda is also known for its abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, and hippos, which can be seen on safari in national parks such as Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls. The country is rich in culture and history, with opportunities to visit traditional villages and learn about the local customs and traditions. Visitors can also enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, white-water rafting, and bird watching. With friendly locals and a vibrant atmosphere, Uganda is a must-visit destination for any adventurous traveler.
Uganda 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 Uganda. This does not count toward routine childhood immunizations.
