entry coming from Africa
I will be travelling in South Africa July and then visiting Australia and Thailand in August. Wondering if this will cause any problems entering either Australia and Thailand regarding vaccinations I should be getting because of the Africa visit?

I am pretty sure Australia requires Yellow Fever if travelling from an infected area. But it doesn't seem as though SA is an "infected area"

crellston is correct that most countries require proof of the yellow fever vaccine if you are coming from an yellow-fever infected area. Exactly where will you be in Africa and will any countries you visit be yellow-fever infected areas?

I will be in South Africa only. It says on the travel advisory that it is NOT an infected location as crellston said. Do you know what organization I can contact to see about the Australia and Thailand policies on this?
Thanks!
Thanks!
