Nassau Health

Tap water is safe to drink and most foods are safe for consumption. An exception for instance is some types of fish, including tropical reef fish, which are poisonous even when cooked.

There are no required vaccines to enter the country, unless you are arriving from a yellow fever affected destination. The following vaccines are recommended for any tropical destination: hepatitis A and B, rabies, typhoid, tetanus and yellow fever.

The most common illnesses are sunburns and traveler's diarrhea (turista). Medical facilities are at par with North American standards. Although not recommended but interesting to note that Bahamians still practise bush medicine, which involves the use of plants, such as aloe vera or fig leafs, for medicinal purposes.
