crawford Posted August 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi allWe are cruising the Panama next year and wanting to know if it is essential to get the Yellow Fever vaccination to go on shore in Nicaragua. Thanks We did not see one mosquito last January/February and visited one of the Embara indigenous villages, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted August 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor and get another opinion but with that being said we have been on the Panama Canal cruise 3 times and never needed a y ellow fever vaccination.

cruise209 Posted August 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We went this past February and prior to the cruise I asked my physician if we needed to get vaccinated and I was informed that it is not required. Nicaragua has political issues going on right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted August 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Your medical practitioner always has the last word so always consult with them. We did the through and in/out canal trips and went to South America (different cruises). Each time I asked my personal physician if I needed anything and all he had me do was get up to date immunization for tetanus and other needed immunizations. Getting yellow fever immunization is difficult as you may find out and is not needed unless one plans to move into the jungle for a long stay. It is not a problem along the coast or in the canal area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mevs904 Posted August 3, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We were on a Panama Canal cruise in March. We didn’t need any vaccinations and never saw one mosquito. That being said, our cruise didn’t go to Nicaragua which was fine with us. I’d be more concerned about safety there given the political issues.

jagsfan Posted August 3, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2018 You could call CDC in Atlanta if you have any doubts. If you’re worried about mosquitoes at all, take Deet or another mosquito repellent. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compozer Posted August 3, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We were there recently and never saw any either. enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzCanuck Posted August 3, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Well honestly we didn't get them on our recent trip either. But the funny thing about vaccinations - you never need them until you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
