Algeria

Risk / Health Info for Algeria

What immunizations do I need for Algeria?

Before you leave for Algeria, consult our advisers about making sure your shots are up to date, including polio. Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations are recommended, especially as they are spread by unsafe water and food. Avoid “traveller’s diarrhea”: practise good food and water precautions. Use only commercially bottled or sterilized water, and do not eat food that has not been boiled or cooked or that you have not peeled.

Ensure your tetanus boosters are up to date before you visit Algeria. Tetanus is not contagious, but the spores of the bacterium exist worldwide in soil and in animal intestinal tracts and therefore contaminate many surfaces. The bacteria enters the bloodstream through puncture wounds or burns, which is how the disease is often contracted. The bacteria releases toxins that can cause damage to the nervous system.

Should I get vaccinated against rabies before I go to Algeria?

Rabies occurs in Algeria so you should protect yourself with the shot, particularly if you will be working with animals or are at risk of animal bites (for example if you plan to run or cycle). Children are also at elevated risk as they may be bitten while playing with an animal. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal in Algeria, seek urgent advice even if you have had the vaccine as you may need post-exposure rabies prophylaxis.

What are the healthcare facilities like in Algeria?

Government-run medical facilities are not as good as private clinics in Algeria. There may not be medical services in remote areas of Algeria. It is highly recommended that you purchase travel health insurance before you leave Canada because provincial or territorial health plans may not cover medical costs while you are outside the country. Contact your provincial or territorial health authority for more information.

Malaria in Algeria
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of Algeria at certain times of year. There is no malaria vaccine, but there are anti-malaria drugs that should be taken before, during and after travelling to certain at-risk countries. Speak with your healthcare provider six weeks before your trip, as not all prophylaxis regimes are appropriate for all regions and all individuals.
Altitude in Algeria
Parts of Algeria are higher than 2,400m, and travellers planning to spend time at a high altitude should take steps to protect themselves against the potentially life-threatening acute mountain sickness. Your healthcare provider can help with this.
Schistosomiasis in Algeria
The schistosomiasis parasite enters humans through the skin during contact with fresh water. To prevent infection, avoid swimming or paddling in lakes and streams in Algeria. This condition is also known as bilharzia.

About Algeria

Algeria’s vast areas of unspoiled territory and its North African Mediterranean coastline make it an attractive destination, though it is not well set up for tourists. There are several large national parks, including Tassili n’Ajjer National Park, which offers prehistoric cave art and rock arches.
