Please be informed that it is now a
mandatory requirement to be vaccinated against polio before any travel to
India.
Following
a press statement posted on their website, the Government of India has
announced that all travellers from Kenya to India need to have completed a full
course of vaccination against polio and are 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 center administering OPV, authorized by the Government of the
Republic of Kenya.
It
is important to note that, the Polio Vaccine should have been administered at least six weeks before
travel into India at an authorized Medical facility and supported with due
documentation.
This requirement will be effective from 14th February
2014.
