Disease and Immunisation Checklist for Guatemala (Central America)
Below is a list of vaccines or medication recommended for when you travel to Guatemala. You should arrange to see your doctor or practice nurse if at a travel clinic at least 6 weeks before departure and tell them where you are traveling to, incase there are any special or additional immunisation requirements at that time.
Remember to also arrange for any additional prescriptions that you may require for while you are away, but to be aware that doctors can now only prescribe a limited quantity under the NHS. As a further precaution always carry a first aid kit whilst holidaying to include a packet of adhesive dressings, some insect repellent, antiseptic cream and water sterilization tablets.
Hepaititis A Typhoid - Immunisation or tablets recommended for protection against disease, though this may be less important for short stays in first-class conditions.
Malaria - Immunisation or tablets recommended for protection against disease. Depends on area visited.
Yellow Fever - Immunisation essential if the traveler arrives from an infected country or area. (This will not apply if your journey is direct from the UK.)
