Immunizations

[atrophy]

My wife and I will be celebrating our 50th anniversary by flying from the USA to London then boarding a cruise ship for a tour of Belgium, Copenhagen, Helsingborg, and Oslo.

After our return to Southampton we will spend 4 days touring Southern England.  Wish I had time to visit Hinckley.

My question is… Do we need immunizations and shot records to enter any of these countries?  The cruise ship says we are on our own to figure this out.

Thanks!

For Europe, you don't need anything out of the ordinary.  Just ensure your routine immunizations are up to date.  Your regular doctor should be able to tell you whether you need anything.  A shot record isn't a requirement to enter those countries but if you need to know when your last shots were, it's handy to have.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi atrophy,
No shots required but might be a lot more security about with the Belgium bombings.
Did the Hinkley factory tour last year,well worth a visit. Happy cruising.

Hallo Atrophy,

No worries.
In those countries, you can drink water directly from the tap.
