Do you need Vaccinations to go to Turkey?

You don't need to have any vaccinations in order to visit Turkey.
However, the following are recommended:
Tetanus, Polio,Typhoid, Hepatitis A.
You probably have protection for most of these anyway but you might need a booster.

If you are going near the Syrian border you should also have prophylaxis against malaria. Tablets need to be started before you are exposed to possible infection, and continued after. This is NOT necessary for most of Turkey.

My boyfriend is from UK and he is living here for a long time without having any jabs. Still healthy & alive :))))
Seems like only the people who already visited Turkey giving the most correct information. Hope you enjoy....

no, you'll have had all the jabs that you need for Turkey, just go and enjoy yourself :)

nope

Tetanus, Diptheria, Hepatitus B and Polio are free in the UK so I don't see any point in not taking these (particularly if you travel). I don't think you need any vaccinations specifically for Turkey but malaria may be a risk. Take a look at http://www.masta.org/ and http://www.lonelplanet.co.uk/.

No,

Turkeys health service is better than ours!

If you're serious about going to Turkey, then behave yourself while
you are there. There is a general disdain for people who don't like
living beyond the 6th or 7th century. I may have over stated it but
I think you get my drift.

Depends on what part - go to www.netdoctor.co.uk type in Turkey at it will list what you need. I went to Belek and I did not have injections.

Best to have one to make sure. My friend went to Turkey and before he went he had one

I would say yes because they still have outbreaks that the rest of the world have Vaccinations for.

Hi, it depends where you are travelling to in Turkey - you shouldnt need yellow fever - for Turkey in general they recommend Typhoid, Hepatitis - if you are travelling to SE you will need malaria tablets and probably one of the other Hepatitis ones and possibly cholera.

I would definitely get them before you go although if you are travelling to tourist areas the hospitals are ok, the private ones are good. Private doctors and health clinics can be expensive so (local) people often use chemists as a first resort.

There is no requirement for vaccinations in Turkey.

Vaccinations are bad for you!

A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

No, u dont need. I m 31 y/o and still alive. I had my last vaccination in the army when I was 21.

Pls do not care the racist btch above. I dont know why she behaves like this, but I think her ex Turkish bf didnt sleep with her enough and she became racist against Turks.

no you dont need any jabs for turkey,spain, cyprus, majorca,
tenerife, or any of the canary islands, you only need them for
3rd world countries, or very very hot incase of malaria.

Todd

Yes you need yellow fever, tetanus.
See you GP practise nurse

Take my advice and don't do the Malaria tablets.

I think you may need a brain transplant if you want to go to Turkey.
