Taking the Zuiderdam in Dec with ports of call in HMC, St. Thomas, Tortola, Bahamas. Do we need any shots/vaccination?

I found this while doing a search online: http://www.mdtravelhealth.com/destinations/mamerica_carib/virgin_islands.htmlDon't have the Hepititas A, will call the Dr's office today to see what he recommends.

Get a flu shot - we get ours every year.

We have had our Hepatitis A and B shots along with diptheria, and others.

Also have had pneumonia shots.

My travel clinic says I shouldn't travel as far as the office without tetanus, polio, hepatitis A and typhoid. And if you've got those you will actually be covered for many places without having to think about it.

Your best source for foreign travel including immunizations is the Center for Disease Control. Their web site has a section for "Traveler's Health" at:
