Hi,

In general you do not require any vaccination if you travel to Mauritius. And if you are traveling from Africa, Asia or South America, they will do a malaria test within 2-3 days of your arrival.

Tropical diseases are not so common except 2 yrs back we had Chikungunya outbreak but I guess there hasn't been any cases anymore.

Don't worry

Anyways you can still check on the WHO website.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Not sure it is the case any more that they do a malaria test if you have traveled from Africa? They didn't when I arrived from Kenya and from South Africa.
