vaccination records for international travel?

[dippitydon't]

It's a bit late to be asking this, but I have the countdown jitters. Can someone tell me if I need to take vaccination records for a trip to Spain, France and Italy? I can't find a clear answer anywhere.

These vaccinations are not required; however, it's wise go get your Hepatitis shots and get a tetanus booster.

 

These shots are free through most insurance (I have Blue Shield and it's free).

Nobody will ask you for this. Just not an issue.

Just to complete the answers given already ..

 

If you have recently been some place where certain disease are endemic and the passport control officer notices, you might be asked for proof of vaccination. So, if you have been trekking through strange places, it is possible. UNlikely that it applies.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the quick response! First trip "across the pond" and I am more nervous about forgetting something than ever.

That's one less thing to worry about.

Thanks again!

Hmmm. Coming from Montana you should make sure your rabies shots are up to date! Only teasing. Like the others have said, you do not need any kind of shots for western Europe.
