Inoculations are not required when traveling to Fiji unless you plan on visiting an area that has been identified for being infected with a disease. It is recommended however, that you bring along Mosquito repellent, especially if planning on spending a lot of time outdoors during the evening hours. Some of the popular Islands to visit in Fiji include: Viti Levu, Taveuni, Ovalau, Kadavu, Mamanuca, Rotuma and Yasawa.
