Vaccinations

[Redrufus]

We're on the re-positioning cruise of Westerdam from Fort Lauderdale on April 19th - Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rica, Mexico.

What vaccinations are necessary/desirable for making shore visits?

Just tetanus? Hepatitis A? Various online Forums give various answers!

Your experience, please?

If you have already gotten the tetnus and Hep A shots -- you are good to go.

Years ago we also got the Hep B.

You do not need to get the Yellow Fever shots if you are worried about that.

There are none necessary for that itinerary.

You can go to the CDC website and see what is recommended. Some parts of Columbia have Malaria issues but probably not the part you will be visiting.
