No vaccination certificates are required for entry to Kuwait,
but inoculation against typhoid is advisable for travellers eating
outside of major hotels and restaurants. There is a risk of
diarrhoeal diseases, which are common in the country. Mains water
is chlorinated and considered relatively safe, but most visitors
stick to bottled water. Avian influenza outbreaks have been
reported, but there have been no human infections; the risk of
travellers contracting the disease is slight, but contact with live
birds should be avoided, and all poultry and egg dishes well cooked
as a precaution. Medical fees are high and medical insurance is
recommended.
