Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is not required for travelers. Yellow Fever is a current risk in Rwanda due to the outbreaks taking place in the region. It is recommended that all travelers over the age of 9 months receive this vaccine. This is also important for travelers who will continue to other EAC countries since Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya all require yellow fever vaccinations as well. If you are coming from, or recently, within 24 days, travelled to, a Yellow Fever endemic country then a Yellow Fever vaccination will be requested at least 10 days before arrival in Rwanda.
