IMMUNIZATION

There is no mandatory vaccination requirement for travelers arriving in Kenya from Canada  with a lay over in Europe or Middle East. However, those having lay overs in any African country en-route to Kenya may be required to produce a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate on arrival. It is highly recommended to have one if your itinerary involves visits to more than one country in Africa to avoid inconvenience at ports of entry.
