Travel Health Questions
What advice do past travelers on the Peru/Galapagos Tour have for traveler health issues?
Did you do anything in the way of immunizations/vaccines just for this trip? The CDC website information seems to indicate that Hepatitis A and B are recommended.
My routine immunizations are or will be current before I go.
Thanks.

Some countries are more picky than others about what shots you need to have had to get back home again. The usual things, as you say, are good to keep up with. When I went to the Galapagos a few years ago, my doctor filled me up with Hep A & B, Polio, Tetanus and some other "cocktail" of typhoid, cholera, etc., and most importantly for returning to Australia, Yellow Fever. Needless to say, I only stubbed my toe. Poor little digit! Check with your own medico about any altitude medication that might be necessary, too. Oh, and the travelling medicine chest/first aid bag/brain surgery kit that keen travellers usually have with them!
Have a wonderful time!

Specifically, has any one had to have a yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Ecuador from Peru? This seems to be a very "squishy" question on all the websites (CDC, etc.).
Thanks.
It's not the getting in that can count, but the getting back home. So check your own country's requirements. I think that's why things looks "squishy" on the travel health sites.
