Whether you’re trekking in the rainforest, lounging on the beach, or exploring vibrant cities, understanding vaccination requirements will ensure you enjoy a safe and healthy trip.
Key Vaccinations for Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, vaccines are recommended based on the areas you intend to visit, your activities, and your vaccination history. Vaccines for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus-Diphtheria are commonly advised. If you're visiting rural areas or planning outdoor activities, vaccinations against Rabies and Yellow Fever may also be necessary. Always consult with our expert pharmacists at Croydon Travel Clinic for personalised recommendations.
