Answer 1

you will not need any shots in order to go to germany !

And by the way , the Europeans are no dirtier than many Americans.

Answer 2

Lived in europe most of my life and lived in america for a bit, ive also lived in germany, and ill tell you, germany is cleaner then most of the places in america, so you dont need any shots!!!!!

Answer 3

I'd get some shots to help prevent the small STD's, but thats just me.  I don't trust those dirty europeans...

Answer 4

What sabine and don'tworry said. If you're from the US, you will find that Germany is VERY clean. I've frequently heard Americans comment on this while I lived there and when I compare with the USA, I have to agree.

There are no shots required for Germany.
