๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ธ Vaccines for Lesotho

Entry requirements and CDC/WHO recommendations for travel to Lesotho.

Yellow Fever required if arriving from endemic countries. No malaria โ€” Lesotho sits entirely above 1400m which puts it outside the transmission zone. One of the few sub-Saharan African countries where that's the case. Hepatitis A recommended.
