The only high risk by going to the Dominican Republic are the flying cows.....But there are no vaccinations available until today.

I had to have Typhoid and Hep A, also you'll need a tetanus and polio if yours is not up to date.
You will probably need malaria tablets too, but speak to you practise nurse at the doctors surgery, they'll have the best advice.

When we went last year we had hepatitis and typhoid vaccinations and were advised to take anti-malaria tablets. Your doctor or practice nurse should be able to advise you on the current requirements.
