Travel Vaccinations for St. Vincent and the Grenadines

The table below provides a general guide as to the Travel Vaccinations that may be advised to you for travel to St. Vincent and the Grenadines

While each island in the Caribbean has its own individual history and charm, there is something magical and unique about St. Vincent & the Grenadines that captures the imagination. Just a day or two on St. Vincent, visiting lively Kingstown, with its cobblestone streets, and relaxing on a black volcanic beach are enough to tell you this is something special. Imagine how clown fish and parrot fish look even more colourful on a canvas of black sand! Spend the afternoon splashing in a cold water pool at the base of Baleine Falls.

After St. Vincent, there are still 31 other islands in the Grenadines to fall in love with. Sail to famous, exclusive Mustique, or find your own secluded beach on Palm Island. Dive at Canouan, take in the restaurants and nightlife on Bequia, (pronounced Bekway), or go yachting off Union Island. Your first stop before you are on your way to St. Vincent & the Grenadines should be a visit to our Travel Health Clinic, four to eight weeks before departure, so that you will be completely safe and up-to-date with the Vaccinations you need for St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

Incredible service – so helpful
Excellent service! Chazile went above and beyond to prepare me for my travels to south east Asia. Very kind, sharp and added helpful bits of information that will be useful during my travels. Even created a vaccine booklet for me that I asked for to keep track of my vaccines for the future. Highly recommended The London Vaccination Clinic. Thanks again Chazile 🙂 Nick

Travel vacines

Attended a consultation for travel vacines, the nurse explained everything with care, provided good advice. We then add a follow up consultation with a different nurse for the vaccines and was also very kind and professional. Was very impressed, we did not feel pressured to have more vacines then reasonable and both nurses gave pricing information upfront.

Very positive experience

Really easy to book and the nurse who I saw in Liverpool Street was really kind and helpful. She went through my vaccination history, what I needed for my trip and explained everything I needed to know ahead of administrating the vaccine I needed.
I am glad I arrived early as the venue was tricky to find as the name of the building has changed so doesn’t match Google maps. Put me in a slight panic as I thought I was going to miss my appointment but I found it in the end!

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside…

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside and out. I have a fear of needles and she was so patient and reassuring from beginning to end. She asked me questions, helped me to relax and made me feel like an individual rather than just someone on the list for the day.

Further Travel Health Advice for St. Vincent and the Grenadines

St. Vincent & the Grenadines are tropical, with light breezes and temperatures rising to 30 or more in the dry season, November until May. When spending time at the beach, or snorkelling, use a good sun block lotion with SPF 20 or higher. Apply liberally and often. When on tour, remember to wear light clothing and bring lots of bottled water with you.

The tap water in St. Vincent & the Grenadines is not considered safe to drink, however, bottled water is cheap, and can be purchased almost anywhere. Remember to drink often and whether it be water or fruit juices, replenish fluids throughout the day. If you are unsure about the quality of water or ice, check with the desk at your hotel or resort.

When in Rome, and so forth. Major hotels and resorts in St. Vincent & the Grenadines will serve you just about any International cuisine you have a taste for, but don’t deny yourself a true taste of island cuisine. St. Vincent is proud of its tradition of serving only fresh caught fish and home grown produce. Savour the National dish, fried jackfish with roasted breadfruit, or choose from a tempting menu of mahi mahi, snapper, bonito or kingfish. For a fascinating change of flavours, taste the stew called Billjau, with salted fish, onions, tomatoes, hot peppers, and coconut oil. All the fruit and vegetables you eat in St. Vincent are home-grown, thanks to the fertile volcanic soil. The local beer is Hairoun, which is very refreshing but most international beers are available here, as well as imported wines and spirits, and the local molasses rum is not to be missed. Try a delicious sunset rum punch but take care, as the rum is no less than 70percent alcohol.

For health care in St. Vincent & the Grenadines, there is a general hospital in Kingstown, as well as public hospitals and a few private hospitals throughout the islands. However, there is no hyperbaric chamber for decompression illness. For the most part, the standard of care is reasonably high, but it is important that you arrange in advance to have enough money with you to pay for any health care you might need, as Doctors will ask for cash payment.

Protect yourself, and your family, with comprehensive travel health insurance which will cover your intended itinerary and any potentially risky activities, such as scuba diving.

Aside from observing the normal precautions, visitors are safe and warmly welcomed in St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
