Shots

[gtlovell]

Do we need any shots for our vacation? We will be in Italy, Croatia, Turkey and Greece.

Not really, you don't need anything special.

 

It always makes sense to have common innoculations up to date, like tetanus. Some people like the hep twinrix vaccination. But really, you don't need a thing in those countries.

You don't need anything special as far as I know, but it's probably a good idea to have all the Hepatitis rounds if you don't already. It's more common outside of the US.

Italy, Croatia, Turkey and Greece are all in the EU and the ports you will dock at are just as the same and "1st world" as cities the USA.

 

I had hepatitis shots to go to the USA, so if you would have them to travel within the US, get them for europe.

Thanks!

I think a shot of Jack after each excursion is adequate to ward off any diseases you might pick up.:D:D

You can also take a shot of Jose before each excursion. You should then be covered going and coming.

I meant that Turkey is in the EU zone (Europe) and it is hoping to become a member state of the EEC.:rolleyes:

 

Turkey signed an agreement with the EU in 1995 and was officially recognised as a candidate for full membership on 12 December 1999. Negotiations were started on 3 October 2005, and the process is likely to take at least a decade to complete.
