Innoculations for Mexico?

Question

Does anybody know what innoculations are needed for Mexico, there are lots of websites giving different advice and some people have said they have been and not had any at all, not going till September when is the best time to have them if I need them?

Answer 1

Best to ask the nurse at your local surgery. You probably don't need anything specific but you might check your regular ones are up-to-date.

Answer 2

Mexico!!!  You are in for a treat - I've been three times LOVE IT!!!!  I'm covered for 10 years now but if I remember rightly its Yellow Fever, Hep C and Thypoid?  If you go to your doctors they have a map of the world with what you need.  But, if you are healthy most people dont bother, I'm a firm believer in prevention though....!!  I believe Doctors charge for this now you cant get them on the NHS and they start at £20 per vaccination..... contact your GP surgery they are the experts......  Have a great time! x

Answer 3

If you are going to a tourist resort, you do not need any shots.  If you are going to remote areas that is different.  I am an American living in mexico and needed no vaccinations before coming.   You could choose to have the hep a and b vaccines if you like, or if your family doc recommends them.

Answer 4

Im British and have been in Mexico a year and a half and I never needed any and dont know anyone else that did either.
