Hi all,
I am flying from London to Harare via Nairobi ( 2 hour stop over, so will not be leaving airport) next week and was wondering if anyone has done the same? And if so, were you asked for yellow fever certificate on arrival in Harare? Or at least, flown into Zimbabwe from another yellow fever risk area and been asked or not?
I've had a look online and even rung the embassy here in the UK, but no one can give me a definite answer?
Would be grateful for any help and advice.

Kenya Yellow Fever. Requirements: Required if traveling from a country with risk of YFV transmission and ≥1 year of age. a. Recommendations: Recommended for all ...

Kenya is a YF country so even transiting it is legally
required or I have gotten it at the airport for 10 KES
years ago.Other countries may deny entry or vaccinate you
on the spot at high fees or demand bribes for entry.
So best for me to take care of it B3 you go to be safe.
If you do not want to take the jab and get the cert tell
them you are allergic to eggs they will just give you
the waiver it will work fine.
www.mdtravelhealth.com Zimbabwe for health risks
Food/water precautions good medical kit and malaria
preventives in risk areas would be a must for me.

Happy Travels!
Even if only transiting thru NBO, who knows what agents in ZIM will require. Best to just get this, which though expensive is good for 10/yrs, so priced over this timeframe, rather inexpensive in the scheme of things. And, you must have the Yellow Card/Booklet that indicates you had (keep w/passport and do not loose as it may be needed again within the 10/yrs.
You are entitled to a 'waiver' to NOT have if:
1) allergic to eggs
2) in contraindication with other drugs you maybe taking
3) age
4) others
See the CDC site, www.cdc.gov/travel (select Kenya or Tanzania for details re YF). They also indicate info re waiver which has to be written on your physician's letterhead to be presented to agent at entering country, if requested.
