Travel Info I will be traveling to Nicaragua in Feb and would like to know if vaccinations are necessary.? Travel Tips Traveling to Nicaragua? You should ensure that all their routine vaccinations are up to date. Vaccination against Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B is strongly recommended. Malaria is endemic, particularly in low-lying areas such as Managua and around the beaches. Dengue is also a problem. Tap water in Managua has been tested and found safe for drinking; however, you are urged to drink bottled water, especially when traveling outside of the capital. Mosquito-borne illnesses are an ongoing problem in Nicaragua. All persons traveling in Nicaragua, even for a brief visit, are at risk of contracting malaria year-round if they travel outside of Managua to low-lying areas. Take a prophylactic regimen best suited to your health profile. The country regularly suffers from outbreaks of dengue fever during the rainy season. Travelers should take precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes to reduce the chance of contracting such illnesses. Source(s): http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw...
