1.A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by all travelers over one year of age arriving from all countries.
2. Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is not a condition of entry to Mali. However, cholera is a serious risk in this country and precautions are essential. There was, for instance, a recent outbreak in the Segou district, central Mali. Up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should include vaccination, as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness.
3.Typhoid is widespread and appropriate precautions should be taken. Polio is endemic.
4.Malaria, mainly in the malignant
falciparum form, is present all year throughout the country. Resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has been reported. The recommended prophylaxis is mefloquine.
