(Vax Before Travel)

After escaping the wrath of Hurricane Ian,The Bahamas remains focused on itsnumber one priority, the health of all who visit the sixteen islandsin the Caribbean during the winter season of 2022.

Neither the U.S. CDC nor the U.K. has issued active travel notices as of October 12, 2022.

And with the reduction of SARS-CoV-2 virus confirmations,The Bahamas eliminated the COVID-19 testing requirement on September 20, 2022.

Andvisitors, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status, are no longer required to submit to pre-travel COVID-19 testing to enterThe Bahamas.

And testing is no longer required for persons traveling within The Bahamas islands.

The CDC does suggest ensuringyou are up-to-date on all routine vaccines before every trip.

In addition, U.K. health authorities have confirmed. Dengue fever is endemic in the Caribbean, and outbreaks can occur throughout the year.

Dengue and other travel vaccine services are offered by certified travel clinics and pharmacies in the U.S.

However, from a safety perspective, the U.S. Department of State reissued a Level 2 Advisory on October 5, 2022.

The State Department says that most crime occurs on New Providence (Nassau) and Grand Bahama (Freeport) islands.

In Nassau, visitors should practiceincreased vigilance in the Over the Hill area (south of Shirley Street).

And activities involving commercial watercraft, including water tours, are not consistently regulated.

Due to these concerns, U.S. government personnel cannot use independently operated jet-ski rentals on New Providence and Paradise Islands.

Moreover, never swim alone in the Caribbean, regardless of your age or level of swimming skills.
