I have been living in the UK since 2005 and I have been back home to Barbados on three occasions. I was never advised by my GP either home in Barbados or in the UK to get shots.
To Specter who answered above. There is no yellow fever in Barbados.
Just make sure you wear insect repellents as the mosquitoes are a nuisance.
I really hope you enjoy your holiday in my island home - It is a beautiful place.

You don't need to have any specific vaccinations for Barbados ie. Yellow Fever. Make sure your diphtheria and tetanus is up to date, hepatitis A is also recommended.

No you do not need any injections. You will get quarantine if you are coming from an area that has diseases like malaria or bird flu.

You better get a Yellow Fever vaccine before you go down there, otherwise you will be spending your vacation on the hotel room.

no, not unless you like having needles in your arms. Check with NHS direct or your practice nurse.

I went there a few years ago and didn't need any shots and didn't get sick. But to be on the safe side please consult your doctor.
