Our little guy is up to date obviously on all vaccinations and isnt scheduled for the next round until age 1. We leave when he is 10.5 months and return at 11.5 months so we arent planning to vaccinate him early.
However a friend of my wife indicated for travel to/from Europe you need the 1 year vaccinations no matter the age of the infant.
I have never travelled to a different country with an infant before so I dont know if they ask or not about vaccination records. I know I have never been asked about vaccination records on the 4 different EU or 5 SA vacations I have been on.
Google didnt return any decent information when I asked politely 
Thanks. |
No, you do not need 1 year vaccinations to travel to Europe. We went to France when my daughter was 8 months old and did not require any further vaccination beyond what she had been given, though we were offered the option of the MMR, which we declined as we would have had to do it again at 1 year anyway if we'd chosen to do so. We've been to 7 different countries with our now 3 year old and we've never been asked about hers or our vaccinations.
