Hey Chuck, I’ve been following your post for a few weeks now, I do appreciate it. By the way, I’m a seventh generation Moravian from Charlotte, although I attended high school in Hastings, MN.
At this time I’m preparing to head down on a mission trip in 6-8 weeks with Mark Ebert’s first group. I thought it might be of interest to post what I found on cdc.gov about "Preparing for Your Trip to Nicaragua"…
From the Center for Disease Control
Before visiting Nicaragua, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)
To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria, if you need it.
Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.
CDC recommends that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. Find a travel medicine clinic near you. If you have a medical condition, you should also share your travel plans with any doctors you are currently seeing for other medical reasons.
