Jersey is a safe city. However, crime does happen, so it is advisable to take certain precautions and maintain vigilance as you would in any other unfamiliar city. Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is recommended.
Avoid carrying large sums of cash and valuables, as pick-pocketing and bag snatching can happen. Be vigilant when driving along country roads, as agricultural traffic and roaming animals are common hazards. Remain on designated footpaths when exploring the coastline or cliff sides, especially when mist is thick, clouds are low and winds are strong. Stick to popular areas when swimming in the ocean, and be cautious of unpredictable swells and strong tides.
Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from a yellow fever endemic area. Immunisations against Hepatitis A & B and rabies are recommended. Other routine and recommended vaccinations include MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella and polio.
