Hi My husband is an architect and is looking at taking a job in Galway. We have decided to delay vaxing on our 6 month old until she is 2 years old. Does anyone know if we would have to get her vaxed if we moved there????

can't say for sure but you shouldn't have to... no vaxes are required to enter the country.

my husband wasn't vaxed until he moved here!

i realize this thread is a year old but thought i would answer anyway just in case someone else needs the info...

we just moved to dublin from the states and no one checked DD's vax history at any point. we are looking into enrolling her in preschool and i was told that it is not a requirement to have certain vax's like it is in the US. also they have different vaxs here, in addition to MMR, DTap, polio, and Hib they also vax against meningitis C and BCG (tuberculosis). they dont do chicken pox or hep b right now although that one will begin this fall...
