Requirement of Vaccination against Polio for all travellers to India from the Republic of Kenya from 14 February, 2014

The dose of OPV can be obtained from the City Council office – Vaccination Centre in room 45 in the Annexe @ KShs. 300.00 (Three hundred)

One needs to go with their existing Yellow Fever book, where they would stamp the acknowledgement of the vaccine.


The Government of India has decided that all travellers to India, children as well as adults, from the Republic of Kenya need to have completed a full course of vaccination against polio, preferably with Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), and should receive an additional dose of OPV at least six weeks before each international journey.  The validity of a full course of vaccination will be one year. 

 

All travelers from the Republic of Kenya to India will be required to carry with them a written record of vaccination (patient-retained record) for polio, preferably using the IHR 2005 International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, from a hospital or centre administering OPV, authorized by the Government of the Republic of Kenya.

 

This requirement will be effective from 14 February, 2014 for entry into India.
