​​Health Questions
Please check this link from the Center for Disease Control. 
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel  Search Dominican Republic for recent updates.​
1. Will I need any special vaccines?
Make sure your tetanus and other routine shots are up to date.  Your primary doctor can assist in these decisions.

2.  What about mosquito-borne illnesses (malaria, zika)?
Anti-malarial medications can be prescribed for you by your family doctor. Zika creates higher risk of consequences during pregnancy.  Please consult your physician if you are planning a pregnancy. For both of these viruses, the best advice is liberal use of mosquito spray. 

3.  Any other suggested medications?
Many team members bring a prescription of Cipro for use in case of travelers' diarrhea.
