Suggest Vaccinations For Hepatitis And Tetanus Recommended While Travelling
Hello: I am Canadian and have travelled to Cuba and Mexico several times on vacation. In two weeks I m travelling to Cuba with a friend. She inquired today about any necessary vaccinations, and her doctor suggested for hepatitis and tetanus. I ve never had such vaccinations before, nor have I inquired. What is the actual requirement, and are we asked any such questions by Canadian or Cuban authorities? I hope you ll reply soon. As for Cuba, I ve never been sick there before.

Hello,
Mostly, Hepatitis A and B vaccinations and tetanus toxoid vaccines are necessary during travel. I'm not sure if the authorities of Canada and Cuba would ask for that. It would be safe if you get single dose of tetanus toxoid vaccination and primary Hepatitis B vaccination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
