According to the CDC's travel advisory page on the DR, the DR is considered an "intermediate risk" for Hepatitis A (see map below, from their travel advisory site) and an IG vaccine is recommended:

Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors.
