A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travelers arriving from areas in the endemic zone

Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is no longer a condition of entry into Honduras. However, cases of cholera were reported in 1996 and 1999 and precautions are essential. Up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should include vaccination as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness.

3
Typhoid may be a risk in rural areas.

4
Malaria risk, in the benign vivax form, exists throughout the year in 80 per cent of the municipalities, especially in the rural areas such as Roatán and the other Bay Islands.
