The CDC recommends that all travelers visit a doctor at least one month before their trip and be up-to-date on routine vaccinations. In addition, the CDC recommends a measles vaccination for:

• People 12 months old or older, with no evidence of immunity or no written documentation of any doses: 2 doses of MMR vaccine before travel. The 2 doses must be given 28 days apart.
• People 12 months old or older who have written documentation of 1 dose and no other evidence of immunity: 1 additional dose before travel, at least 28 days after the previous dose.

They also recommend that most travelers be vaccinated for Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Please be sure check the CDC Website for Guatemala for full information about vaccinations and health concerns.

The CDC recommends that some travelers be vaccinated for Hepatitis B and rabies. They also recommend that some travelers take prescription medicine for malaria prevention, depending on what part of Guatemala you are visiting; see more information about malaria in Guatemala here.

*There is no risk of yellow fever in Guatemala. The government of Guatemala requires proof of yellow fever vaccination only if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever.
