Dirk G. Schroeder’s Staying Healthy in Asia, Africa, and Latin America is an excellent and concise guide to preventative medicine in the Developing World and is small enough to fit in your pocket. Consult the “Mexico and Central America” page of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website for up-to-date health recommendations and advice (www.cdc.gov [1]) or call their International Travelers Hotline (U.S. tel. 404/332-4559 or 877/394-8747). You can also contact the Nicaraguan embassy in your country.
Required: A certificate of vaccination against yellow fever is required for all travelers over one year of age and arriving from affected areas.
