Yellow Fever Certificate

Do I need a yellow fever certificate arriving in Tanzania? The answer is NO. However, you DO need the yellow fever certificate if you are traveling from or are traveling through a country that has yellow fever. Therefore, we suggest keeping up with the CDC or your local travel medical center to find out what vaccines are currently recommended for travel to Tanzania.

However, Tanzania does NOT have Yellow Fever in the country, so they only require you to show proof of vaccine for Yellow Fever if you are from a country that does have Yellow Fever.  Also, if you in transit for more than 12 hours in an airport located in a country with risk of Yellow Fever Virus transmission, then you will also have to show proof of the vaccine.
