Travel Insurance Requirements for Aruba

Health & safety
Here are some general considerations to keep yourself safe and healthy as you experience all Aruba has to offer.
Aruba's tap water is safe to drink. This is very convenient given that you'll need to drink a lot of water to guard against the hot sun. Make sure you wear a hat and sunglasses, bring a high SPF sunscreen, and be sure to stay hydrated.
Bring mosquito repellent. Malaria isn't a concert in Aruba, but you still don't want to get bitten by mosquitos.
Finally, be wary of street vendors. Be cautious of purchasing any street food that has been sitting out for a while. Opting for food that's been cooked in front of you is a smarter way to purchase street food.
Necessary vaccinations
Make sure you are up-to-date on all routine vaccines before your trip. Here are some common vaccination recommendations for Aruba.
- Chickenpox (Varicella)
- Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis
- Flu (influenza)
- Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR)

For the most up-to-date information on required vaccinations and other health requirements, visit the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website.
