Entering Sri Lanka, vaccination against the Yellow Fever is legally required. Although, the requirement is only enforced on people traveling from infected areas like Central Africa and parts of South America, volunteers should consult a doctor regarding immunizing for Yellow Fever.
Other recommended immunizations for Sri Lanka travel include Diphtheria & Tetanus, Hepatitis A and B, Japanese B Encephalitis, Polio, Rabies, Tuberculosis and Typhoid. Volunteers should bring malaria medication in case of travel to a high-risk area. A basic personal first aid including bandages, medication and other should be packed.
