Vaccinations
Check that your coverage for polio and tetanus is up to date. There is no malaria in Trinidad, but there are very occasional outbreaks of dengue fever – another mosquito-borne disease. You should take normal precautions against mosquito bites, including using insect repellent during daylight hours and after sunset. Note that hepatitis A occurs very occasionally and rabies is present, transmitted by bats, though it is generally no threat. With the exception of yellow fever, for which a vaccination certificate is required from travellers over one year of age coming from infected areas, vaccinations are not required. |
