Health checks

Vaccines
Check current TravelHealthPro guidance for Cuba, including routine vaccines, destination-specific recommendations and any certificate rules linked to your itinerary.
02
Healthcare
FCDO advises against all but essential travel. Power, fuel and water shortages are disrupting transport and healthcare, so confirm insurance and contingency plans before travel.
Official health sources
Check the right health source.
A vaccine recommendation is not automatically an entry requirement. Check traveller-health guidance, then confirm mandatory certificates or health-entry rules with the relevant authority.
