Haiti: Travel Medicine, Vaccinations and WarningsInfectious diseasesIn Haiti, the following infectious diseases are to be expected, which are not or less common in Germany or Central and Northern Europe:
Recommended vaccinations when traveling to Haiti, the following vaccinations recommended:
Compulsory vaccination As already mentioned above, all persons who are older than one year and who come from a yellow fever infection area designated by the WHO are required to be vaccinated against a yellow fever disease. Yellow fever vaccination for children In most of the countries where yellow fever vaccination is mandatory, this also applies to children over 1 year of age, in some countries even from 6 months. It should be noted: In a vaccination against yellow fever, there were a number of side effects, such. B. Encephalitis. Around two thirds of those affected were children under 6 months. Therefore, children under this age are not allowed under any circumstancesbe vaccinated. But children under one year of age should also not be vaccinated if possible. If in doubt, yellow fever infection areas must then be avoided. Any vaccination against yellow fever may only be carried out in specially authorized yellow fever vaccination centers! Malaria prophylaxis When traveling in the country, it is strongly advised to undergo malaria prophylaxis. If the side effects seem questionable to you, you should at least have a "stand-by preparation" with you.
Who pays for vaccinations in Germany?Most children in Germany are vaccinated against a number of infectious diseases at an early age. However, the vaccination protection only lasts up to 10 years, in some cases even shorter. Therefore, before traveling abroad, you should carefully consider against which infectious diseases a vaccination is necessary or useful in the country concerned and whether the vaccination protection, if applicable, was not too long ago. Most statutory health insurances have been reimbursing the costs for the following vaccinations since June 2007. There is even no 10 € practice fee - but the insured usually have to pay the statutory additional payment, which is 10% of the vaccine price - that is at least 5 € and a maximum of 10 €. Under these conditions, the following vaccinations are free of charge:
Some health insurance companies also reimburse the cost of malaria prophylaxis. As a rule, private health insurance companies (inquire beforehand) also cover the costs mentioned.
