Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
According to the INSPQ, here are the strongly recommended vaccines for Costa Rica:
Hepatitis A and B, as well as rabies if you will be going on an excursion and will be at risk of bites, and COVID, among others.
However, the basic vaccination schedule should be completed.
Malaria prevention is also recommended depending on the areas visited.
I encourage you to make an appointment with your pharmacist to check if the pharmacy offers the vaccination service and, if so, to make sure they have the vaccines in stock. You can also check to see if the areas you are visiting require malaria prophylaxis.
Hopefully I have been helpful, I remain available if you have any further questions!
Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
