Steps to take before Brazil

ARE you travelling to Brazil to witness the Greatest Show on Earth? Have you been vaccinated?

The Ministry of Health recently issued reminders to those travelling to this year’s FIFA World Cup to ensure that they get immunised against measles and yellow fever at least 10 days before their departure.

Required medication for malaria should also be taken before departing the island.

The ministry had said the precaution was necessary since people from a number of countries which either currently have an outbreak, or are endemic for certain vaccine-preventable diseases, will gather in Brazil for the World Cup.

Be prepared.
