    What do people do about vaccinations?

    We are going to get them.  About $250 per person.  I’m great with that……. if necessary.  

    Please advise.

    That’s a totally personal decision. Neither my wife or I got any before moving here three years ago.

    Which vaccinations are you considering?

    I think Hep A is a good one, no matter where you travel. Anything else is up to you. In 20 years of traveling in Latin America, I have never done any malaria treatment. And I’ve never had malaria — which, by the way, has been eradicated in Ecuador. I do know that if you travel directly from Ecuador or Colombia to Costa Rica you will need proof of the Yellow Fever vaccine, Costa Rica is the only country I know of that requires this, for passengers traveling from a country known to have YF in their jungle regions. By the way, I don’t know that I know anyone who has ever had Yellow Fever.
