Whether you're relaxing on the beaches of Sal and Boa Vista, exploring the mountains of Santo Antão, or visiting the islands of São Vicente and Santiago, we'll help ensure you're properly protected with the right vaccines and travel health advice. Our GPhC-registered pharmacists assess your specific itinerary and medical history to create a personalised vaccination plan tailored to your trip.

Vaccination Guide

Recommended Vaccines for Cape Verde

Our pharmacists will confirm exactly which vaccines you need based on your itinerary, activities and medical history.

Routine Vaccines

Ensure these are up to date before travel

01

Hepatitis A

Who needs it

All travellers

Doses

1 dose (booster at 6–12 months)

Recommended for most travellers to Cape Verde. Spread through contaminated food and water, Hepatitis A can occur where sanitation standards vary, and a single dose provides long-term protection.

02

Typhoid

Who needs it

Travellers staying with friends or family, or visiting where sanitation may be limited

Doses

1 dose

Spread through contaminated food and water. Vaccination may be advised depending on your accommodation, planned activities and the length of your stay. Our pharmacists will confirm whether it is recommended for your trip.

Recommended Vaccines

Strongly advised depending on your itinerary

03

Hepatitis B

Who needs it

Long stays, adventure travellers

Doses

3 doses over 21 days (accelerated course available)

May be recommended for longer stays or if you could be exposed to blood or body fluids. Worth discussing with our pharmacists if you plan adventurous activities or an extended trip.

Required Vaccines

May be mandatory depending on your route

04

Yellow Fever (Conditional — Certificate May Be Required)

Who needs it

Travellers arriving from a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission

Doses

1 dose (lifetime immunity)

Yellow Fever is not present in Cape Verde, but a valid ICVP certificate may be required if you are arriving from, or have recently travelled through, a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission. Our pharmacists will check your full itinerary and advise whether vaccination and a certificate are needed for your trip.

Yellow Fever vaccinations and ICVP certificates are available at our Bosmere Pharmacy, Havant location only.

Risk Awareness

Health Risks When Travelling to Cape Verde

Understanding potential health risks helps you prepare properly. Our pharmacists will assess your specific itinerary and activities to provide tailored advice.

Mosquito-Borne Illness

Mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue can occur in Cape Verde, particularly during and after the rainy season. Using DEET-based repellents, covering exposed skin and sleeping in screened or air-conditioned rooms are sensible precautions. Our pharmacists can advise on bite avoidance for your trip.

Food & Water Safety

Travellers' diarrhoea can affect visitors to Cape Verde. Drinking bottled or treated water, being cautious with ice, and choosing freshly prepared food are good general precautions. Hepatitis A and typhoid can be linked to contaminated food and water, which is why vaccination may be recommended before your trip.

Sun & Heat

Cape Verde has a warm, sunny climate year-round. Heat-related illness, dehydration and sunburn are common, avoidable risks. Use high-factor sun protection, drink plenty of water, and take care during the hottest part of the day, particularly if you are active outdoors.

General Travel Health

As with any trip, it is sensible to carry a basic first-aid kit, ensure you have adequate travel insurance, and bring enough of any regular medication. Our pharmacists can review your routine vaccinations and offer practical advice to help you stay well throughout your stay.

Malaria Risk

Malaria Risk in Cape Verde

Good news for travellers: Cape Verde is considered a very low-risk destination for malaria. The World Health Organization certified Cape Verde as malaria-free in 2024, so antimalarial tablets are not routinely needed for a typical trip.

A Malaria-Free Destination

Cape Verde was certified malaria-free by the World Health Organization in 2024. For most travellers, malaria is not a routine concern and antimalarial medication is generally not required for a standard trip.

Personalised Advice

If your wider itinerary includes other destinations, or if you have particular health concerns, our pharmacists will review your full travel plans and give clear, personalised advice on whether any antimalarial precautions are needed.

Sensible Bite Prevention

Even where malaria is not a concern, avoiding mosquito bites remains sensible to reduce the risk of other mosquito-borne illnesses. Use insect repellent, cover exposed skin in the evening, and sleep in screened or air-conditioned rooms where possible.

Three-Step Process

How to Get Your Cape Verde Travel Vaccinations at Southdowns Pharmacy

Three simple steps from booking to being fully protected.

Step 01

Book Your Consultation

Visit any of our four Hampshire locations during opening hours or book online. Walk-ins are welcome. We serve patients from across Hampshire including Portsmouth, Southsea, Waterlooville, Havant, Fareham, Gosport, and Chichester.

Step 02

Expert Travel Health Assessment

Our GPhC-registered pharmacists will review your full itinerary, medical history, and planned activities to provide personalised Cape Verde travel health advice. We'll identify exactly which vaccines you need — and just as importantly, which ones you don't.

Step 03

Same-Day Vaccination

Receive your vaccines immediately at the same appointment. We stock recommended Cape Verde travel vaccinations across all four branches and can complete your course before departure. No waiting lists, no delays.

Timing Guide

When to Get Your Cape Verde Travel Vaccinations

Ideally, book 6–8 weeks before departure — but don't worry if your trip is sooner. We accommodate last-minute travellers with same-day appointments and can provide immediate protection for most vaccines.

Ideal

6–8 Weeks Before

Best timing for multi-dose vaccines such as Hepatitis B. Allows your immune system to develop full protection before departure and leaves time to complete any course.

Good

2–4 Weeks Before

Still time for single-dose vaccines including Hepatitis A and Typhoid, plus accelerated courses where available. First doses of multi-dose courses can begin.

Last Minute

Days Before Departure

Don't skip it — some protection is always better than none. Hepatitis A and Typhoid can be given same-day. Come in even if you're leaving within days.
