There are no special precautions required for travel to Israel,
but insect protection from August to November is recommended due to
the prevalence of the West Nile virus, which is transmitted by
mosquitoes. A Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended as well as a
tetanus vaccine. Bird Flu has been discovered in Gaza as well as in
a number of towns in Israel. The risk to travellers is very low,
but close contact with live birds should be avoided, and all egg
and poultry dishes should be well cooked as a precaution. Medical
facilities in Israel are excellent but treatment can be very
expensive, so it is essential that travellers take out full
insurance.
