Hello ! We are leaving for Belize soon and are wondering what vaccinations are needed. Our children are 21 months and 3 1/2 years old. Our vaccines are all up to date. Thank you very much!

Hello :) If your vaccination records are already up to date, there are only a few vaccines to consider for a trip to Belize. For reference, you can refer to the website of the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/sante-voyage/guide/pays/belize) First of all, make sure you get the hepatitis A and B vaccines. Please note that for your children, the dose may not be covered by your insurance and that there may be a cost. In addition, there is a moderate risk of rabies in Belize and it may be advisable to vaccinate your children against rabies if they are at risk of approaching wild animals (e.g. stray dogs). Hopefully it will be useful, Alexandre
