psosebee Posted April 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Wondering how many people get vaccinations for the Caribbean? Worried about Hepatitis. Posted this under another board but should have posted here...my apologies. I just asked my Dr about this. They recommend a Hep vaccine if you plan to eat sushi, oysters or any raw shell fish.I don't eat any of that so I did not get the vaccine. Your Dr may recommend different, but would definitely get an appointment prior to your cruise to make sure.

pacruise804 Posted April 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2018 My son is preparing for a mission trip to Guatemala and the organization he is serving with recommends Hep A, Hep B, and current tetanus. Please verify with your doctor or appropriate government agency for their guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted April 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2018 You could always chat with your doctor and get any recommended vaccinations as a percaution. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiedust777 Posted May 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Got the twinrex vaccine just as a precaution since we can tend to adventurous eaters. Just need to make sure you have enough time before you travel to receive the 2 shots. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindivan Posted September 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Our family has traveled quite a bit and can’t remember where we were traveling exactly where it was recommended to us but since I keep hearing the importance of Hep A And Hep B vaccinations. The kids only had a couple extra shots I think but DH and I had more because our kids had gotten more than we did when they were young. I think it was a 3 shot series but it’s been a while so I could be wrong. Either way, not a big deal and provides a lot of peace of mind.
