Tamas,

Living on Bonaire, you do not need any "vaccinations" to come to Bonaire. We have now wild or exotic diseases on the island. You should be fine.

Unless you have some susceptibility to something, I would suspect that you don't need anything. I've been to Bonaire a half-dozen times and never received any kind of counsel or information that vaccinations are necessary.
 
H2Andy:
about the only places in the Caribbean where malaria is a problem is Haiti and
the Dominican Republic... like you say, thankfully it hasn't taken root anywhere else

they list Trinidad and Tobago as a yellow fever site. then there's
Hep A and B and typhoid, but they're not too specific about those.

Yellow fever pops up sporadically in Trinidad and Tobago, maybe every few years..
Generally about the time of the 'rainy season' which is basically hurricane season.

All those tropical depressions, storms and hurricanes dump lots of rain which creates innumerable mosquito breeding sites.
