Recommended Immunizations
The following immunizations are highly recommended:

Yellow Fever
T Booster
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Typhoid (can be taken orally)
Malaria (Mefloquine is generally the medication of choice)

Some of these immunizations require a series of shots, so this process should be begun as soon as possible. Malaria is endemic in the region of Suriname to which you will be traveling. As a result, the anti malarial, Mefloquine, is a must. Contact your physician about obtaining this medication and the recommended regimen
