crusinmama06 Posted March 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2013 What are the general practices and recommendations? Labadee, Jamaica, Cozumel Just the normal routine vax schedule as you would have. Or so my ped has always told us. But obviously consult your own doc ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack2 Posted March 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The Centers for Disease Control has a nicely put together schedule for vaccinations... although your doctor should have a more clinical one that the doc would understand. the Patient Friendly version is here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf _________________________________________________________________________________ You can cross check your destinations with the CDC travel website. http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx specifically, http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list.htm This will also direct you to the State Dept. weblinks for any travel advisories. I wouldn't fret it though. If people were to make it on CNN after a vacation coming down with a rare tropical disease... it'd spell the end of tourism in that country... You'd get a free vacation before they let you attempt to talk to Anderson Cooper. edit: I stressed out a little before going to Punta Cana to an All-Inclusive with my wife for our 15th wedding anniversary... Parts of the Dominican Republic had outbreaks of Malayasian Cholera because of the conditions in Haiti after the earthquake a few years even after the disaster. We were there a week... LOVED it... nobody got sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistizoom Posted March 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We got Hep A vax for our 10 year old son who hadn't had it previously. He had all other regular recommended vaccinations already. DH and I got Hep A vax as well, my doctor said usually adults have worse symptoms than kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
