Vaccines and safety in Seychelles
Vaccines and local diseases
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers over the age of one year.
- For adults, don’t forget vaccinations against tetanus, polio, meningitis A & C, hepatitis A & B, typhoid and for at-risk groups: tuberculosis and rabies.
- For children, don’t forget vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis A & C, hepatitis A & B (long-stay), typhoid (long-stay for travellers aged 5 and over).
In the Seychelles, the following diseases are common: Amoebiasis, spider, snake, fish and scorpion bites, bilharzia, leishmaniasis, roundworm, hepatitis A & B, sexually transmitted diseases, meningitis, polio, malaria, rabies, AIDS, tetanus, tuberculosis, typhoid. Mondassur therefore strongly recommends that you get vaccinated against these diseases.
Safety in Seychelles
First of all, boating is formally discouraged in the entire Seychelles Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). However, as far as internal security on the island is concerned, Seychelles is a very safe place. There are, however, a few cases of theft targeting tourists from time to time. So take precautions. Finally, to find all the recommendations to follow during your stay in Seychelles, visit the France Diplomatie website.
Health and repatriation insurance in Seychelles
Why take out health insurance when traveling or living in the Seychelles? Quite simply because healthcare costs can quickly reach very high levels abroad. Repatriation cover is also an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident, medical repatriation to the nearest medical center or to the country of residence may be necessary. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident, and the medical prognosis, it may be necessary to charter a helicopter or medical aircraft.
Mondassur can help you choose the right health insurance in Seychelles by comparing the different offers available on the market. Depending on your profile, we can offer you different travel insurance, student insurance and expatriate insurance packages.
