Guam Health Care and Vaccinations
28/08/2019
Health insurance is strongly advised, owing to the high cost of health care. There is one civilian hospital, the Guam Memorial Hospital, and a number of private clinics, as well as some medical facilities run for US military personnel. For emergencies dial 911.
Food and drink:
Water is chlorinated, and relatively safe to drink. Dairy products, local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe for consumption. There is, however, a risk of bio-intoxication from raw or cooked fish or shellfish.
Other risks:
Hepatitis B and tuberculosis occur; vaccination is sometimes advised. Dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis can occur in epidemics. Jellyfish may pose some threat.
