Before your service trip, we recommend reviewing the list of routine Immunizations  and consulting your physician for personalized advice on any recommended vaccines or precautions. Staying up to date with your tetanus and Hepatitis A & B vaccines is generally recommended, and malaria medication may be worth considering for certain regions in Central America. Please note that neither of these vaccinations are required to enter Central America nor to return home after your Vida trip.
