Morocco

Risk / Health Info for Morocco

Do I need shots for Morocco?

There are some injections to get before going to Morocco and your healthcare adviser can guide you. Your shots should be up to date before you go to Morocco. Your healthcare adviser can tell you about vaccines that will prevent hepatitis A and typhoid, two nasty gastrointestinal illnesses caused by contaminated food and water. You can further reduce the risk of “travellers’ diarrhea” by using only commercially bottled water for drinking and ice cubes. Don’t eat food that you have not peeled yourself or that has not been cooked or boiled.

Can I catch rabies in Morocco?

It is possible to get rabies in Morocco if an infected animal bites or licks you. Make sure your shot is up to date, especially if you will spend time in remote areas or work with animals. Always get immediate medical attention if you are bitten or scratched by an animal during your time in Morocco, even if you have been vaccinated, so that a healthcare professional can decide whether to recommend post-exposure rabies prophylaxis.

Should I get vaccinated against hepatitis B before going to Morocco?

Regular travellers and long-stay visitors should consider getting vaccinated against hepatitis B, which is spread by contact with contaminated blood or body products. Other groups at risk include children and healthcare workers. If you think you are at elevated risk of exposure to hep B, tell your Canadian Travel Clinics adviser.

Can I get healthcare in Morocco?

Private medical care in Morocco is generally good, but can be pricey. Your provincial or territorial health insurance will not cover you when you leave Canada, so get travel insurance before you go.

The emergency number in Morocco is 150.

Is it safe to get a henna tattoo in Morocco?

Henna tattoos are a popular experience for many visitors to Morocco – but some people are susceptible to a painful allergic reaction to the chemical PPD that is in some henna formulations.

Are there any mosquito-borne illnesses in Morocco

It is possible to contract several mosquito-borne illnesses in Morocco, including dengue fever and malaria so it is a very good idea to avoid bites wherever possible. Choose clothing with long sleeves and legs and use a reliable insect repellent. Sleep under nets, too. And if a vaccine or prophylaxis is available, make use of it.

Dengue fever in Morocco
There have been cases of the mosquito-borne virus dengue fever in Morocco. Dengue fever is also known as breakbone fever because of the severe bone, joint and muscular pains it causes, in addition to flu-like fever and headache. There is no vaccine for dengue fever. Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellents (50% DEET) and by wearing protective clothing. Sleeping with mosquito nets is also recommended.
Altitude in Morocco
Parts of Morocco 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 Morocco
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 Morocco. This condition is also known as bilharzia.
