OnTheBrink Posted October 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2007 My kids are up to date on their standard vaccines. But do they need anything extra for a cruise to the Caribbean? They'll be 3.5 and 7. What about my husband and I? The last vaccine I had was about 14 years ago before going to college. My husband has some before studying in Europe about 10 years ago.

sandy toes Posted October 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This is a link to CDC where you can type in the country you are visiting, say St Kitts or St Maarten. It will then tell you if you need any additional vaccines or if any are just suggested for the area. Also, from that page you can click to destinations and find if any warnings are posted. Carry some good insect repellent with you as it is costly if even available in most ports. http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted October 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Nothing is REQUIRED for anyone, child or adult, for cruising in the Caribbean. There are suggested things, such as Hep A and B, but nothing required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live4vacation Posted October 25, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2007 We were wondering the same thing. My DD is up to date on her shots but wondering about the adults. The CDC does say Measles, Mumps & Rubella vaccine is recommended for the carribbean. I will probably call my doctor to see if it is necessary.
