    What vaccines for trip to Equador/Galapagos?

    Hi all.

    I am going on a trip to the Galapagos (liveaboard), with a 3 day stay in Equador on either end of the trip. Anyone got any recommendations for vaccines? Im a bit concerned that the docs here in Hicksville may not be up on South American disease prevalance.

    Thanks

    Go to www.cdc.gov

    I'm going to Honduras in a few weeks and Hep A, anti-malarial and tetanus are recommended.

    South America may need typhoid, Dengue and yellow fever too. Check the site above to be sure what's recommended for your destination.

    I love to take it for a dive
