EamonT Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 I'm going on a western Caribbean cruise soon (Labadee, Falmouth, and Cozumel). I'm getting conflicting information regarding vaccinations and whether they are necessary. Up until recently the information I sourced said they weren't required because you spend short periods of time in each port. On the other hand, other sources give long lists of vaccines needed. Can anyone tell me of their experiences regarding this? Quote

Matt Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 As an American, vaccinations that I got as a kid have been more than enough. Quote
melmar02 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 Nothing is required. We keep our tetanus boosters current - you never know what you might step on at the beach. Baked Alaska 1 Quote

It’s what physicians use to get info about which vaccinations to give in different countries and is continuously updated based on what diseases are going on in the world. Also has some great safety tips too. Quote
