Travel to Costa Rica has increased remarkably lately so I thought that I would post the recommended vaccinations so you can be prepared for travel.
Malaria: Prophylaxis with chloroquine is recommended for the provinces of Alajuela, Limon (except for Limon City), Guanacaste, and Heredia.
Vaccinations:
Hepatitis A Recommended for all travelers
Typhoid Recommended for all travelers
Hepatitis B For travelers who may have intimate contact with local residents, especially if visiting for more than 6 months
Yellow fever Required for travelers arriving from a yellow-fever-infected country in Africa or the Americas
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) Two doses recommended for all travelers born after 1956, if not previously given
Tetanus-diphtheria Revaccination recommended every 10 years
