Vaccines for Dominican Republic

[minesadecaf]

We're going in October. How far in advance will we need the jabs? It's dh, myself and two kids. Thank you.

I don't think we got any extras when we went. Are you just staying on a resort? If so I think it's different from if you were actually staying at a homestay.

Yes we're in an all inclusive in Bavaro.

I don't think you need any either. We didn't need any for Barbados

Recommendations are here. You may not need anything if you’ve had these for travel or routine vaccines already

We went to the Dom rep 25yrs ago, we didn’t need vaccines, but took malaria tabs. Advice may have changed, your GP surgery, will probably hold a travellers clinic. Have a wonderful holiday

Can’t remember what jabs we got but I needed 2 and malaria tablets which I was told to start taking 2 weeks before we went and for 2 weeks after we got home. Think we got injections about a month before.

Enjoy! Bavaro is my absolute favourite place. So jealous 😭
