U.S. Virgin Islands / Medical
The United States Virgin Islands is generally a benign place and you will experience little that you wouldn’t expect to suffer stateside or in Europe although health risks may include hepatitis A and very occasionally dengue fever. Only bottled water should be drunk outside the major towns. Medical facilities are of a high standard, but health insurance is vital as medical care is very expensive.
