jordanriver Posted December 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Will be on Viking cruise with port stops in Chile, Argentina. Likely will have some meals in countries. Do I need Typhoid and Hep A immunizations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted December 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We have hep vaccinations. Not because of travel to foreign lands but for travel at home and throughout NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted December 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2019 You should have Hep A and Hep B as a normal fact of life now adays I'd also recommend looking for a local Travel Clinic or if not available talk to you doctor about what the State Department recommends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking the countries, no vaccinations are required for Chile, Argentina, or Uruguay. Argentina has had a recent outbreak of measles. Brazil is listed as having issues in recent times with polio, yellow fever, and measles, but we don't intend to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted December 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Anytime we travel, we visit a travel medicine clinic. Have a consultation with a doctor who reviews the itinerary and makes recommendations. They should also review the times in port, whether you are overnight, any inland or over-night excursions, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted December 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2019 No specific vaccines are required for these countries, but everyone ought to have both Hep A and B as routine vaccinations. Other things, TDaP, MMR, Pneumococcal, H. Zoster and Flu should just be up to date. I am leaving for a similar itinerary in 2 weeks and believe Typhoid is overkill for this trip. You should consult with a knowledgeable physician if you have further questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
