dangereux, non. Il n'est simplement pas administrativement valable, sauf s'il s'agit d'une revaccination, la validité commence dix jours après l'injection.
si tu n'habites pas très loin d'un aéroport (Paris), tu peux y aller sans rendez vous. Il y a des centres médicaux qui vaccinent sans problème.
En province, je ne sais pas.
Le vaccin n'est plus obligattoire, c'est vrai; mais bon, par prévention, ce n'est pas un vaccin avec des effets secondaires possibles (comme celui pour les hépatites par exemple). Il ne prend effet que 10 jours après, mais à titre toout à fait personnel, je le ferai quand même.
Après chacun fait ce qu'il veut.
Le service médical d'urgence d'ADP à l'aéroport de Roissy sera ouvert (terminal 2F, niveau arrivée). appellez les quand même 01 48 62 28 00.
Le SMU de l'aéroport d'Orly-Sud ne vaccine pas le samedi.
Côte d’Ivoire : polémique autour des victimes de la fièvre jaune
Les autorités parlent de 19 malades et un syndicat de médecins rapporte plusieurs morts
Une épidémie de fièvre jaune sévit à Abidjan depuis mai 2008. Le ministère à charge de la Santé et de l’Hygiène Publique a déclaré en début de semaine avoir détecté 19 cas de malades. Dans le même temps, et alors qu’une campagne de vaccination doit être lancée vendredi, un syndicat de médecins estime que l’épidémie a déjà fait plusieurs morts.

De notre correspondante en Côte d’Ivoire
C’est le flou autour de l’épidémie de fièvre jaune qui sévit à Abidjan depuis mai dernier. Le cabinet du ministre ivoirien de la Santé, le Dr. Allah Kouadio Rémy, soutient que les autorités ont recensé 19 cas de malades. Seulement, lundi 11 août 2008, d’un quotidien ivoirien, le Dr Amichia Magloire a brossé un tableau plus sombre.
Plus de deux millions de vaccins
« Il y a bel et bien eu des patients décédés, a déclaré le secrétaire général du Syndicat National des Cadres Supérieurs de la Santé de Côte d’Ivoire (Synacassci). S’il y en n’avait pas eu, le ministère de la Santé n’aurait pas déclaré Abidjan zone endémique et les moyens n’auraient pas été dégagés assez rapidement pour faire vacciner les populations. Je ne vais certes pas entrer dans la polémique mais les informations remontées au syndicat par les camarades ayant pris en charge les patients avancent le contraire. Il y a bel et bien eu des décès. »
La campagne de vaccination annoncée par le ministère de la Santé et de l’Hygiène Publique doit démarrer le 15 août dans tout Abidjan. Deux millions trois cent mille doses sont disponibles pour démarrer cette campagne prévention, qui doit être menée avec l’aide de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé et de l’Unicef. Le coût de l’opération, prévue pour durer deux semaines, se chiffre plus de 1, 2 milliard de FCFA (environ 1, 8 million d’euros).
Avant de lancer ce programme, le ministère de la Santé et de l’Hygiène Publique a entrepris un projet de lutte contre l’insalubrité dans les hôpitaux pour éviter des infections nosocomiales. Le ministère a par ailleurs rassuré les populations des communes de Treichville et Cocody, déclarées zones endémiques. Selon le directeur adjoint de cabinet du ministère, 225 personnes résidant dans l’environnement immédiat des malades auraient déjà été vaccinées après détection de l’épidémie.
SALUT !! tu as raison, cette fiévre fait encore des victimes, pourquoi le Sénégal ne continu pas de rendre le vaccin obligatoire ??
Codialement de PAPY
Houla ! ne mélangez pas la situation actuellement épidémique en Côte d'Ivoire, en particulier à Abidjan, qui justifie les mesures de vaccination de masse organisées avec l'OMS (malgré une campagne de vaccination en 2001, la couverture vaccinale est inférieure à 60%), et le Sénégal, où la dernière situation épidémique remonte à 2005, dans l'intérieur (Tambacounda)
Il y a en Afrique de régulières flambées épidémiques de FJ en particulier en zone urbaine, il est donc plus que conseillé pour le voyageur d'être vacciné. Le dire ici déclenche souvent des réactions hostiles. Chacun fait ce qu'il veut.
L'obligation administrative répond à des impératifs de santé publique et est en retard par rapport aux faits. Ne vous y fiez pas pour votre protection individuelle. Cela n'a rien à voir.
Celà me paraît un peu court comme délai, le vaccin met toujouirs un peu de temps avant de faire effet.
le temps de fabriquer les anticorps.
adresse-toi dans un centre de médecine tropicale, consulte internet, peut-être auras-tu des renseignements.
😉Mieux comme délai, et puis tu pourrais être fatigué par cette vaccination, tout le monde ne réagit pas de la même manière, l'organisme fabrique des anticorps, et sépuise un peu.
Je te conseillerai de prendre quelques polyvitamines, qui renforcent aussi les défenses immunitaires.
Je tiens celà de ma femme infirmière;
La bonne cause c'est que vous avez enrichi les laboratoires pharmaceutiques c'est tout. Maintenant il est bon que vous sachiez que vous risquez la sclérose en plaques à la suite de la vaccination anti hépatite A ( ma pauvre tante en est une victime) que la fièvre typhoide a disparu de presque partout, et que la fièvre jaune n'est obligatoire au Sénégal que pour les voyageurs venant de zones infectées. Et le traitement anti palu va vous bousiller le foie et risque de vous rendre malade !!plus tard!!
Bon courage quand même!!
Jammy
un petit coucou pour dire:
que j'ai fait mes vaccins:
hepatite A
typhoide
fievre jaune
+ traitement paludisme...
j'ai hate de voir la facture, mais bon c'est pour la bonne cause 😇
dangereux, non. Il n'est simplement pas administrativement valable, sauf s'il s'agit d'une revaccination, la validité commence dix jours après l'injection.
10j Est ce le cas pour tout les pays ? d'un pt de vue medical quel delais est recommandé ?
Bonjour
10 jours pour tous les pays membres de l'OMS (et quelques autres je crois): C'est le règlement sanitaire international, qui a force juridique.
D'un point de vue conseil médical: Idem pour avoir une protection correcte (Nous parlons la de la première vaccination, en cas de rappel dans la période de 10 ans, la validité est immédiate)
Pouvez vous me dire s'il est encore obligatoire de se faire vacciner pour une séjour d'une semaine au sénégal, tout en sachant que nous resterons sur SALY et…
J 'ai 2 questions: Qui pourrait m'expliquer a quoi sert "check my trip?" ce que c'est exactement?? (J'ai réservé un billet pour le Sénégal en février 2018,…
J'hésite à partir seule à Saly en juillet. Est ce agréable pour une personne seule? Concernant les moustiques, sont ils nombreux? Je n'ai pas envie de prendre…
J'ai un voyage prévu au sénégal du 30 mars au 12 avril 2013 mais à cause d'un pb medical le vaccin contre la fievre jaune est contre indiqué pour moi! Je sais…
J'aimerais visiter le Sénégal, a partir de Paris, a quel aéroport arrive t'on? est ce que Saphi (ou saly) est loin, je ne souviens plus de l'orthographe. Doit…
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
