Zika virus

[EmmaJack86]

Hi! We are booked on a Caribbean cruise in February and just found out we are pregnant does anyone know the current advice regarding Zika virus? Thanks in advance

Hi EmmaJack86,
There are two sites that give you very good advice ( the first is on precautions and the second on locations to be careful in).

1. travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/4/zika-virus--update-and-advice-for-travellers

2 - www.hpsc.ie/a-z/vectorborne/zika/factsheet/listofaffectedcountries/ If you decide you don't want to go, check your insurance policy to see if they'll allow you to cancel (subject to whether you'd provided the information they need to process a claim). If you know what your cruise stops are , I'll check around and see what's the latest status. Please take care!

Thanks I've been trying to research it all day and so conflicting I will see what midwife said I don't really want to cancel as there is a family of 9 of us going most of the places we are going saying speak to health practitioner and a couple say postpone so will see what they say when I get to speak to them! Thanks!
