I am travelling from the UK at the end of March. I went to my doctor and they advised Hepatitis A and typhoid. Arm was a bit sore the day after though!

None are mandatory.
But I highly suggest getting Malaria vacine and all your Hepatitis vacines (A,B,C). The hepatitis take time so you better start now.
These are highly recommended for any country in Carribean or Mexico. It protects you as hepititis is easy to get from food or even touching dirty items like in restrooms. It is recommended even in the US and more so when you eat out a lot. Food Handlers may not always have clean hands or untensils.
Hepatitis can be life threatening and there is no real cure.
Have a safe trip and most of all have fun.

None advised but when I went I had had my 10 year booster the previous year for the Dominican Republic. Brilliant place to holiday though & they love English

No, but recently my friend went there and she came back with a nasty virus that attacked her throat and made swallowing an extremely painful exercise. Hopefully you don't get that if you and your daughter are going there. Anyway, good luck and enjoy the warmth.

No, you do not require a vaccine. Just come and enjoy your stay.
