I need to get down to Kenya in a couple of weeks, but I'm struggling to figure out where to get the required vaccinations in Dubai (I guess I'm going to need Yellow fever to get in + a few others). Anyone had the Jabs here and know where to go?

yellow fever jab is a live virus and as such only hospitals are allowed to stock it. try cedars in jebel ali. for all others i use dr akels on beach road, behind magrudy bookshop.

consult your doctor first as there's a rule about live/non live vaccination order which i can't remember!

NB- yellow fever is only recommended for kenya, they'll still let you in without the card.

Make sure you get a yellow fever / vaccination card.

I had my jabs done at Mankhool Clinic in Bur Dubai, was pretty quiet and was in and out in about 20 mins. They run a travel clinic on certain days from recollection, may be worth giving them a call. I believe if you need Yellow Fever it has to be from a government run place, our normal quacks (Dubai Physiotherapy) could not give us it.

Cheers guys, I tried Cedars today, but it seems the rules changed recently and only government hospitals / clinics can provide the Yellow Fever jab now.

Thanks John, Mankhool seems to be the only place you can get this done now. Heading down there on Weds for some holes in my arm and wallet smile
