Do you have to get a shot if you travel to another country?

Question

Im going to Denmark from California. Do i have to get a doctor shot brfore going to another country. Im only 13 years old.

Answer 1

I'm 14 =]

When you go to most of Europe, you do not need to get shots. I've been to 15 countries over there, and vaccines were not necessary. When you go to countries in Africa, South American, etc, shots ARE necessary.

Have fun in Denmark!

Answer 2

I think you do, but it depends where...

Answer 3

There are very few places where any kind of shot is required (other than your basic US vaccinations); there are many where they are recommended.

Here's a complete list of countries and recommendations from the CDC:

Answer 4

To go to Denmark or any other country in Europe, you just need to make sure that all the shots you'd normally get in the U.S are uptodate. =)

If you're travelling to South America, Certain parts of Asia and all of Africa, you have to get a whole bunch of different shots to protect you.
