It's not a bad idea. There are some places in the islands where you could pickup a little Hep-A, Dengue Fever, or a few other little problem children.

If you're the type to dive into a lake on top of Grenada, or eat at a roadside stand, or even use local ice in your drinks, I'd get myself up to date.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

port of call vaccinations for Caribbean cruise

It depends on where you are traveling, but in general if you have the routine vaccinations (check to make sure your standard vaccinations are complete and up to date), Hep A & B and Typhoid, that should cover you for most of the Caribbean.

For more information see the related link or call your local health department.


Yellow fever vaccinations are needed if you are coming from or going to an area where yellow fever is present. Colombiaand Panama are countries where yellow fever is present. Going to or coming from Colombia or Panama requires a yellow fever vaccination. The vaccination is effective from 10 days after the inoculation to 10 years thereafter.

Please note that, contrary to World Health Organization guidelines, Egypt and Guyana consider Costa Rica as an area with the risk of yellow fever transmission. So if you're going to Egypt and Guyana from Costa Rica, you'll need to have proof of a yellow fever vaccination.
