Yes: Aside from your typical vaccinations, the cdc recommends hep a and b, typhoid, and rabies vaccine. You should also probably be aware there is a cholera alert for the dominican republic.

Learn Your risks: You may need vaccines, especially if you are eating off the beaten path. Might well consider typhoid if it has been over 2 years since the killed shot vaccine or 5 years since the live oral form. Have you had the hepatitis a series? Up to date on tdap, mmr--vaccines you should probably have for our country as well? Besides vaccines-many parts of that country have malaria risk--see a travel doctor.
