A yellow fever vaccination is required for entry for those
entering Trinidad and Tobago from infected areas, but it is
recommended that all travellers to Trinidad and Tobago are
vaccinated against yellow fever. An inoculation for Hepatitis A is
also suggested for those visiting rural areas. Insect protection is
advised, as there is an increasing risk of dengue fever. There is a
high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Medical facilities are limited and
medical personnel prone to striking. Proof of ability to pay is
often required before treatment is given, even in emergencies.
Medical insurance with provision for evacuation is strongly
advised.
