Hello everybody,

When living or moving abroad, and in particular in Belize, vaccination against certain diseases is often required to enter the country or to avoid risks.

We would like to ask you a few questions to help future expats there.

What is your relationship to vaccines in general?

Did you get vaccinated before moving to Belize?
Were these vaccinations compulsory or recommended?

Did you refuse to get any vaccine that was recommended for Belize? If so, why?

If you are an expatriate in Belize, are you encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine? Do you have access to the vaccine and do you plan to get it?

Is this vaccine required for entering the country now?

Many thanks,

Diksha,
Expat.com team

What is your relationship to vaccines in general?
I'm a firm believer that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh any small risk posed

Did you get vaccinated before moving to Belize?
no special vaccines recommended or required. We did update our tetanus shots.

Were these vaccinations compulsory or recommended? No, not recommended or compulsory

Is the COVID-19 vaccine required for entering the country now?
No. But we strongly recommend anyone coming to Belize get their Covid vaccination before leaving home if possible. Belize does not anticpate having any vaccine for Covid sooner than late March and obviously at risk Belizeans will be first in line, as it should be.

Hi Helen,
I think there are quite a few of us waiting for the Belize northern border to open.
My advice is to be patient and get your covid vaccine, if you can.
I don’t know if testing will be offered at the land border. You might get a test in Chetumal, before entering Belize.
Get the health certificates for your pets just before leaving. The certificates are valid for 14 days after your veterinarian checks your pets and signs the certificates.
Then, enjoy the drive!
