Vaccinations - Peru
I am going on the Trek on the Inca Trail in June. I am told that no vaccinations are required. I am wondering what others have been told. Please advise.
Thanks, |
True no vaccinations required but some suggested...
review Travel MD info www.mdtravelhealth.com Peru For me Hep A for sure... Maybe some Diamox to prevent altitude illness... |
Only if you go to the Amazon, then you need the Yellow Fever vaccination and anti-malarial pills.

I'm going to Cusco and Sacred Valley in May. Based on info found on the web and from a local travel medication clinic, the following vaccinations are recommended, but not required:
Tetanus Typhoid Hep A (I also got B since it came along with the A shot) |
The yellow fever vax wasn't required because we weren't going to the jungle but I got it anyway because I'm traveling to China in the near future. I'm not sure how strict they'll be but supposedly if you've been to any country previously with yellow fever they won't let you in if you weren't vaccinated before that trip. So, just in case, I got the shot. No big deal.
Also got the hep ones, typhoid, & tetanus which would be good to have anywhere including at home in the US. |
