I will be going to El Slavador and Costa Rica next month. How do I see what shots or meds I may need?

You can check the Costa Rica embassy webpage [here](http://www.costarica-embassy.org/default.htm) and the El Salvador embassy webpage [here](http://www.el-salvador.dk/) (the website for the El Salvador embassy to the US would not load).

I didn’t see anything requiring innoculations on either site.
