Crime, political unrest, and limited healthcare are real concerns, especially outside major cities. Check current State Department guidance.
Yes. Yellow Fever vaccination is required for entry — carry your International Certificate of Vaccination.
Yes — the CDC recommends malaria prophylaxis. CDC-recommended options include atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, or mefloquine, chosen with a licensed provider.
Beyond routine and Yellow Fever, the CDC recommends Hepatitis A and B and Typhoid for most travelers, plus rabies for extended stays.
Wandr currently assigns Nigeria a safety grade of D (High Risk) and a risk score of 45/100. Grades summarize destination-specific risk across vaccine-preventable disease, common medication needs, altitude, climate, and outbreak alerts. Scores are derived from CDC, WHO, and US State Department guidance and updated regularly. Use the grade as a starting point — your personal plan still depends on your itinerary, health history, and length of stay.
Vaccine requirements depend on your itinerary, season, and health history. For Nigeria, review the "Wandr's Recommendations" section above, which reflects current CDC guidance. Most travelers should also be up to date on routine immunizations (MMR, Tdap, flu, COVID-19). Wandr can match you with a licensed provider to confirm what you need and route prescriptions to your pharmacy.
Start 4–6 weeks before departure when possible. Some vaccines require multiple doses spaced weeks apart (e.g., Hepatitis B, Japanese Encephalitis), and antimalarials like Atovaquone-Proguanil should be started 1–2 days before entering a malaria-risk area. If you have less than 4 weeks, Wandr can still help — most prescriptions are ready for same-day pharmacy pickup after provider review.
A traditional travel clinic visit typically costs $115–$250+ and requires an in-person appointment 1–2 weeks out. Wandr provides the same CDC-aligned guidance online: a licensed US provider reviews your visit — usually within 24 hours — and sends prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice. Your $89 online visit covers the physician review and one Rx sent to your pharmacy, +$29 for each add-on Rx, or $199 for the Comprehensive Travel Kit visit (up to 9 Rx). Your pharmacy bills the medication itself; HSA/FSA and pharmacy insurance apply.
After a Wandr-licensed provider reviews and approves your visit, prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy for same-day pickup. You choose your pharmacy during the intake process.
Yes. Wandr accepts HSA and FSA payment for medical visits and prescriptions. Most travel-health expenses — provider fees, prescription medications, and many vaccines — qualify under IRS-eligible medical care rules. Your pharmacy insurance may also cover a portion of the medication cost itself.
Check vaccines, order travel medications, and get a clinician-reviewed plan — all online, typically within 24 hours.
