No time for Vaccinations!!

We are going on a short cruise on the Carnival Destiny next week - with
stops in Key West and Cozumel. Have not had any vaccinations. Any advice
on what to do or not do. Is there anything I can get in the short term?

TIA

Hi,

You are not required to have any vaccinations for this itinerary. Go
and enjoy your cruise. :+)

You should not need vaccinations for either destination. I have never
been to Key West, but if is in the US, so you should be fine. I have
been to Cozumel many times and on a land trip to Cancun(very nearby) and
never needed any vacination.

Enjoy your cruise.

In Key West, maybe a tetanus shot in case you get scratched by a
Hemingway cat or run across a rooster in a foul (or is fowl) mood. Other
than that you should be good to go.

For those of you thinking about more exotic places, the US Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention has a useful website at

Nothing to worry about ...
In Key West ... a Margarita should serve the purpose ...

Thanks to all for your help.

Any tips on things to do at these ports. We plan to just explore in Key
West and see what the day brings us - I hear there is a Margeuritaville. We
have a VW Beetle rented in Cozumel to visit some sites. My wife would like
to visit one of the ruins.

Thanks Again!

Do a websearch for "name of country you're visiting vaccinations"

None of the countries you're visiting have problems with the likes of
maleria, yellow fever, polio, etc.

The cruise line would have told you if there were any requirements.

Got your passport in order? :-P

Key West, Conch Train tour. Cozumel, check with your home location auto
insurance agency. Ensure that you are totally covered in Mexico for car
rental. I can almost guarantee that you will not be covered. Most Credit
cards don't cover you either. Purchase or at least check about Mexican auto
insurance with plenty of coverage for collision, comprehensive and bodily
injury before your trip. If your home auto insurance company can't provide
appropriate documentation that you are covered or provide that service find
a company that can. You may need it.
