Travel Health: Those entering Mexico from an infected area require a yellow
fever certificate. There are no vaccination requirements for
visitors to Mexico, however visitors should take medical advice if
travelling outside the major tourist areas. A malaria risk exists
in some rural areas, but not on the Pacific and Gulf coasts, and
dengue fever is on the increase. Sensible precautions regarding
food and water should be followed and visitors are advised to be
cautious of street food and stick to bottled water. Medical
facilities are basic, so medical insurance is recommended.
