Any CDC guidelines?

Does any one know if we need to have vacinations or be on Malaria medication to travel in Costa Rica, Panama or Mexico? Carla

I don't know, but I do have their website.

If you find out, pls let us know.

We went last year in from December 9th to the 19th. We did not need these shots or meds. Other than huge numbers of butterflys we hardly saw a bug. No problems with mosquito's either, unless your going deep into the jungle.

I am following the recommendations on getting Hep A and Thyphoid fever immunizations, and I am also getting a script for an anti-malarial drug. My Dr. recommended me to come in about three weeks prior.

It seems like most people don't take anything or receive shots so you will probably be fine. Use your own judgement. :)
