ruby32 Posted March 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) My wife and I are travelling on the Riviera to the Southern Caribbean this coming November. We will be going to Martinique, St. Kitts/Nevis, Guadeloupe, Colombia (Santa Marta) St. Barts, Aruba, Bonaire, Venezuela (El Guamache/Isla Margarita), and Grenada. Some countries require Yellow Fever vaccines if coming from a country that has a Yellow Fever risk. Does anyone who has been to these destinations lately on a cruise know about requirements for Yellow Fever vaccines to enter any of these countries if coming from any of the other countries on the list (e.g., if coming from Columbia, do any of the other countries require a vaccine) ? Thank you for any information. Edited March 26, 2014 by ruby32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You can check with the government site what is required http://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories Never had any issues with most on your list You may want to take a bug repellant with DEET in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian Gov't site only says that some of these countries require Yellow Fever vaccines if you've gone to a high risk country prior to entering the next country but it does not list the high risk countries themselves.

You only usually need these vaccines if your going into areas away from the beaten track to live or visit for an extended time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a link to the WHO website that lists the countries You could check with the TRAVEL CLINIC in your area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted March 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) We just came back from a southern Caribbean cruise which included St. Kitts and Grenada. We didn't get any vaccinations. I got 2 bug bites in Grenada in the interior of the island, but otherwise had absolutely no problems with bugs, bites or illnesses. Went to St. Barts a couple years ago with no problems. I always take a few little packets of Deet-based insect repellent, but seldom have to use it in the Caribbean.
