India Imposes Polio Vaccine on Kenyans

INDIA: Starting February 14, 2014, all travellers from Kenya to India will be required to be fully vaccinated against polio. Kenya Airways has since informed its customers to adhere to the rules.

This follows the introduction of these new regulations by the government of India.

In addition to completing a full course of vaccination against polio, preferably with Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), travellers from Kenya entering India will also be required to have received an additional dose of OPV at least six weeks before they travel.  The full course of polio vaccination will be valid for one year.
