Never had a problem with drinking the water in Jamaica. If in doubt ask for and use bottled water.

I'm one of those crazy people that love water, prefer it ice cold! I drink tons of it right out of the tap when I'm there and never had a problem. Now the PNS syndrome is a whole other thing! Seems I get it as soon as we get home and it hangs on right up until we land in Montigo Bay the next year!

Rock Rob: I needed a tetanus shot AFTER a trip, try walking around without cutting a foot! I also second the flu shot, wait till you sit next to a sickey on an enclosed airplane, remember the flu shot takes a couple of weeks to start protecting you!
jamaicas water rocks, we always drink the tap water, soon come
Thank u for the info. I get my flu shot yearly due to my job. N had to have stitches so my tetanus is up to date as well. Wish I had asked soon so we could get all his.
Never had a need for vaccinations except when I came to Jamaica from Afghanistan. Jamaican customs stopped me to make sure I was taking medications for malaria. Jamaica does not have malaria that I know of and I can only guess they wanted to make sure I wasn't bringing it in from Afghanistan.
