We are going to Mozambique in October and were wondering what would be recommended for shots and inoculations for that country? We will be taking Malarone for Malaria.

I believe a lot of people get their information from the CDC website. My doctor seemed to take their travel site seriously.

The link below should help educate you:

Have a great trip,

CAC, this is from Mozambique's health site.Good luck on your hunt.

Mozambique - Health

Requirements

It is imperative that you obtain malaria prophylactics before entering Mozambique. When purchasing these, please tell your doctor or pharmacist that you intend visiting Mozambique. Start your course at least 24 hours before entering the country and continue taking the pills for 6 weeks after leaving the country. If you suffer from side effects, try taking your malaria prophylactics at night after dinner. Take precautionary measures to prevent contact with mosquitoes, like: sleeping under a bed net or in a room/tent with mosquito proofing (remember to keep the flaps zipped at all times); spraying your accommodation with insecticide; making use of a mosquito repelling lotion or stick; and wearing long sleeve clothing, trousers and socks when outside at night.
No inoculations for smallpox, cholera or yellow fever are required unless you are coming from an infected area. This could change and you should check with the Mozambique Embassy when you obtain your visa. However, travel clinics generally recommend that visitors should take precautions against yellow fever, cholera, typhoid, smallpox, malaria and hepatitis, particularly if you will be in the country for more than three weeks. If you are staying in lodges which have a good supply of water you should not encounter these problems.


Medical Services

Outside of Maputo and Beira medical facilities are scarce and medicines are not easily available. It is recommended you carry a good supply of medicines you may need, as well as a first aid kit. Doctors expect cash payment, so ensure your medical insurance covers your trip to Mo�ambique.

Travel Tips

Safety
A terrible civil war, lasting 17 years and ending in 1992, numerous floods and droughts have left Mo�ambique a poor and scarred country. It is estimated that a million landmines remain unexploded throughout the country. Never wander off main roads and tracks. Known minefields are usually marked PEREGO, or with red and white tape, but if in doubt, seek local advice first.
Mozambicans tend to be very friendly. However, years of war and economic conditions have led to an increase in crime, particularly in cities. Tourists are advised to avoid travelling alone or at night. Keep your possessions concealed and with you at all times, and be vigilant.
If you are visiting the Bazaruto Archipelago, the only real dangers are razor clams which are exposed at low tides. It is recommended you wear sandals to avoid cutting your feet on these.

Water
Tap water is usually safe to drink, but bottled water is available should you prefer this. Avoid eating food which has not been cooked or peeled.
