For a trip to the Caribbean, standard vaccinations should be complete and up to date. These include vaccinations against tetanus (tetanus), diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), measles and basic immunization against poliomyelitis/polio. Depending on the style of travel, vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, typhoid and rabies may be advisable. On some islands there is also a risk of malaria and yellow fever. Please consult a doctor with knowledge of travel medicine before starting your trip.
