Travellers over a year old arriving from infected areas require
a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Hepatitis A vaccinations
are recommended for all travellers as well as polio and tetanus
vaccinations. It is advisable to get a hepatitis B vaccination if
travellers will have intimate contact with the locals, especially
if staying for over 6 months. Mains water on Anguilla is
chlorinated, but bottled water is available and recommended for
visitors. All food on the island is safe to eat. There are three
private medical clinics and a small hospital, which can deal with
minor emergencies, but serious cases are transferred to
neighbouring islands or the USA mainland. Adequate medical
insurance is therefore strongly advised.
