Pitcairn Island - Health
There are no diseases endemic to the Pitcairn Islands, however, the small Pitcairn community is vulnerable to diseases that may be carried by visitors.
All Captains are required to declare the health of passengers and crew before landing on Pitcairn Island. This must be done by emailing a copy of the vessel’s Maritime Declaration of Health to the Pitcairn Islands Medical Officer prior to arrival and must confirm that the vessel has no cases of contagious disease on board.
When there is doubt about fitness to land on Pitcairn, a brief medical examination may be required, including measurement of body temperature. These precautions may vary according to information from WHO and the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network.
Vaccinations:
Captains are responsible for ensuring vaccinations are up to date including season influenza, chickenpox, polio, Hepatitis A, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) and diptheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT). Other vaccinations may be indicated for travellers with special health risks.
Yellow Fever
Although Yellow Fever is not a disease risk in the Pitcairn Islands, the Government requires travellers arriving from countries where yellow fever is present to provide proof of Yellow Fever faccinations.
Note: Only the Pitcairn Medical Officer is permitted to request medical supplies etc. from visiting vessels.
