Traveling to Hond Kong with non-vaxed 4 & 3 yr olds--any thing I should know/do?

[thekuhlkens]

Just looking for info/resources. Have only traveled to London with them otherwise. Are there any requirements or paperwork I need to have?

Thanks!

No mention of vaccinations in the HK tourist info . I lived in HK for 11 years, my eldest was born there, and it really is no different from any major first world city, like London, New York, Paris etc. I love Hong Kong, have a wonderful vacation!

NO vaccines required for any country. They are only recommendations, nothing more.

Mostly true, however some countries (mostly African contries I believe) do require the Yellow Fever vax or proof of immunity. Most other countries just require the vax if the traveller is coming from a country where there is a risk of transmission.

I don't remember as I haven't flown into HK in years, but they might well require proof of yellow fever from a traveler from a "yellow fever" country. Could even be on the immigration form you have to fill out on the plane. However, yellow fever is moot point for a traveler from the US.
