Here is the information on vaccine recommendations from the CDC. Links provided. Cruise lines and the Ports do not require any vaccinations, however routine vaccinations, HEP A & B and Typhoid are recommended for the Western Caribbean.
I assume that is due to the fact we are only at ports for 5-8 hours during the day and most people usually stick around the more touristy areas. Smaller cities, villages, rural areas, and hiking are where risk of exposure is higher through food or water (Typhoid). Mosquito repellent with DEET is also recommended.
Please visit the travel section at the CDC and/or talk with your doctor.
- You should check with your doctor for her recommendations. Everyone has different levels of comfort.
- Recommendations may differ for pregnant women, young children, and persons who have chronic medical conditions.
- Vaccine recommendations are based on the best available risk information. Please note that the level of risk for vaccine-preventable diseases can change at any time.
- Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)
