Your regular doctor may be able to help you with many of the immunizations you need to travel to Guatemala. Most of you are more than likely current with your Tetanus, as well as Hepatitis A and B. Do check with your doctor to be certain of the dates. Tetanus requires a booster to those adults who will be traveling with us. The Typhoid immunization can be given by injection or it can be taken orally (pay attention, it's a bit tricky). I have personally used both World Travel Care (see the link to your left) and Passport Health. I also know of some past team members using the North Fulton Health Center here in Roswell (www.gradyhealthsystem.org).
The health care providers at World Travel will review all current recommendations for traveling to Guatemala. They will also provide a prescription for the ever popular Cipro (or another kin to it) for travelers diarrhea. Malaria tablets are often prescribed too.
