been to Dom Rep twice, and both St Lucia and Antigua once each.
The first time we went to Dom Rep we had about 5 different shots, then malaria and some other tablets each day. That was about 14yrs ago now though, so is better these days. The other three times I havent had anything, or taken any tablets and have been fine.
I would ask your docs though and get what they offer, as otherwise if you do come down with anything it'll ruin yur hols!
Also, Nov could be risking it if it has a hurricane season like last yr!!

AI is def the best option in the Carribean, as if you venture out and eat in the local places you have to be really careful what they are like as food isnt kept to the same standards as we would expect even the worse places in the UK to. Although it is good to go out and try to find some of the good local places as the food can be amazing!
