Everyone ages 9 months through 59 years who plans to travel to parts of Africa where yellow fever is a risk needs 1 dose of the yellow fever vaccine. When you get vaccinated, ask for an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, which is proof that you have been vaccinated. The certificate is valid starting 10 days after you get the vaccine.

Travelers travelling to polio infected countries are required to receive dose of Oral Polio Vaccine at least 4 weeks before travel, regardless of age and vaccination status

• Avoid passing objects with the left hand. This is customary in some parts of the country. It is advisable to always use the right hand or both hands together in case.
• It is often considered polite to stand up when someone who is highly respected or of higher status enters the room.
• Refer to people by their titles until they have indicated that is appropriate for you to move on to a first name basis.
• People show greater respect to elders and superiors by kissing their hands in some rural areas, although this may not be expected in cities.
• When offering something, Ethiopians generally extend an invitation multiple time. It is expected that you politely decline the gesture initially before accepting on the second or third offer. This exchange is polite as the insistence to extend the invitation shows hospitality and the initial refusal to accept shows humbleness and that one is not greedy.
• Consider that Ethiopians may refuse your offer initially out of politeness. Therefore, try and offer gestures more than once to give them the opportunity to accept something on the second or third attempt.
• Strict punctuality is not expected in casual settings, but considerable lateness is also unacceptable.
• It is considered inappropriate to ask to split a bill. If you wish to pay for someone’s meal, say “Let me take you out” rather than “Let’s go out”. The person who invites others to a meal or organises it is expected to pay at the restaurant. If it is not clear who invited one another, there may be bickering as each person tries to pay out of politeness. Consider that even if you say you will pay upfront, people may still resist and try to pay out of politeness.
• It is considered inappropriate for women to whistle.
• It is best not to compliment something (particularly children) more than once or continue to admire it once you have acknowledged it. This may cause an Ethiopian to be wary that the evil eye will be jealous of it (see Traditional Beliefs in Religion).
• If you have a young child that does not like to be touched by strangers, explain this to an Ethiopian. It is the cultural norm in Ethiopia to pick up and kiss children out of admiration.
• Do not walk past someone you know without acknowledging them.
