Immunisations for Panama Canal Cruise

[kitty52]

We are going on partial transit Panama Canal in March. Can anyone tell me if you require a Yellow Fever Certificate for this cruise?

No immunizations required as of last year. It's recommended to be up on your standard immunizations.

Nope, not required by the ship. You might want one if you plan to do an unusual tour, trekking a long distance from the ship or going deep into the jungle - but that's pretty rare. If you're concerned about mosquitoes, bring a good repellant with Deet.

Thanks for that. No treks into the jungle!!! Just wanted to check that you didn't need a certificate to get into some of the countries. Plenty of mozzy killer will be packed.

We are on the Island Princess thru the Panama Canal in March and do not require any immunizations.

We are just off Coral Princess partial Panama Canal and were not bothered by mosquitoes anywhere, including the Veragua rain forest in Costa Rica and the Panama Canal ferry transit to the Pacific.
