Immunizations

Routine Vaccinations

Moondance adheres the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.

Please consult with a physician for specific recommendations based on your health history.

Routine vaccinations related to travel may include the following:

COVID-19
Chickenpox (Varicella)
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

Pneumococcal
Polio
Rotavirus

Rabies

The Centers for Disease Control recommends a pre-exposure rabies vaccination before your trip because rabid dogs are commonly found in this country. There may be limited or no rabies treatment available. We will encounter dogs and wildlife especially as we travel to rural areas.
