Anybody know which vaccinations would be important to get if you are planning on living in Punta Cana for a while? We're not planning on traveling further west than Santo Domingo or Puerto Plata.

Check the archives but

at the very least polio, diptheria, tetanus should be up to date and you should have at least hepatitis A and preferably A and B with the TwinRix vaccine or similar.

Malaria protection is not required other than excursions very near or into Haiti.

www.cdc.gov has links to travel advice including vaccination recommendations for various countries.
