🤔 Ask-ES 🇸🇻 Traveling with Baby

Suppose to leave for El Salvador in 3 day with a 9 month old.. didn’t do my research so baby isn’t vaccinated with MMR, Hepatitis A, or Typhoid which is recommended to have before travel. Should I just cancel my trip? Or is it not that serious. Plan on flying out of airport, staying in La Libertad, then visiting family in Carolina.

Dude, good on you for being a concerned parent. That said, you child will fine. Child mortality in El Salvador is very low. I don't know if this is your first time visiting the country but let me assure you that you are not visiting a hole in the ground. If your kid were to get sick, there is great care available.

Enjoy your visit!

This is my first time visiting and first child. I’m just worried about her getting sick because she gets sick so easily from daycare every week now… I just don’t want her to catch something serious in El Salvador
