Latin America has bugs, mosquitos and other yummy stuff, so I'd better be safe than sorry! I got vaccins for :- tetanus/polio- Hepatitis A and B- Typhoid- Yellow fever (only for Peru, Bolivia & Brazil)Malaria is the other thing : avoid getting bitten! I am not a big fan of malaria medecine, but for some coastal areas in Central America and Brazil, it's no luxery either. Nivaquine is OK for Zone A countries (Central America), for Zone C (Amazon basin), you need Malarone. Check with your doctor or the Institute for Tropical Diseases for their advice.
