According to the World Health Organisation ( WHO ), a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers aged one year and older , travelling to Mozambique or arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission . A vaccination certificate is also required for travellers who have travelled for more than 12 hours through an airport in a country with risk of yellow fever transmission .
There is a risk of malaria throughout the year in Mozambique , with the highest risk in coastal areas . As such , travellers are advised to get treatment in the form of mosquito-bite prevention plus atovaquone proguanil or doxycycline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis .

FYI
Four of the six countries along Mozambique ’ s border are landlocked , and hence dependent
on Mozambique as a conduit to global markets .
