Traveling and vax?  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I have a 2 1/2 yr old DS and a 4 mo old DD and are considering traveling to Taiwan in January. DS is on a delayed/non vax schedule and DD has not been vaxed and I hope not to until much later. We would like to visit DH's family, but am I concerned about the babies being non-vaxed in another country/air travel. Should it be a concern? The only thing our Dr said was that he unless we were traveling to a remote area of Taiwan (which we won't be) then he thought it would be OK? I looked up recommended vax for traveling to Taiwan and it said "should be up to date on all regular vax", but that was on the CDC site, so...??? Do we have to show vax records for travel? Thanks for all your help in advance, I really don't want to vax my little girl, but DH hasn't been back in over 10 yrs and I would love for all of us to go.

I wouldn't worry.

We've travelled around the world 4 times with a non-vaxed kid.

Have fun!

Check with www.who.org for travel RECOMMENDATIONS for vaccinations.

These are not REQUIREMENTS, they are RECOMMENDATIONS.

I simply suggest you follow proper protocol for regular sanitation and eat carefully and well, and watch the water...you will be fine.

and enjoy your trip!

I agree, enjoy your trip! I've never had to show vax records either (even when leaving the country.)

I don't think you have to get them vax'd or 'up to date'...

We are planning on traveling to the Philippines next year (DD is not vax'd at all) and I've done a lot of research and from what I have found you don't have to get any vax's. They recommend it but you don't have to. Also I think the only time you would 'have' to is if there is an outbreak or something like that. Anyways..


Happy Traveling to Taiwan!!
