What vaccine is required to travel to Costa Rica?

Good evening Madam,

According to Health Canada's website, the only "mandatory" vaccines to travel to Costa Rica are the vaccines that are part of the normal vaccination schedule in Quebec. Thus, if your vaccination booklet is up to date, a good part of your work is completed.

Then, several vaccines are highly recommended when traveling to Costa Rica. Of these are: influenza, hepatitis A and B, rabies and measles.

Also ,if you have traveled to a country with yellow fever recently, you will need proof of vaccination when entering the country (unless those countries are Argentina and Panama). For a list of these countries, it's here 👉 https://www.who.int/ith/ith-yellow-fever-annex1-new.pdf?ua=1

Happy traveling!
