You do not need a shot for travel to France
And you only need a shot for certain countries in Africa. I live in Tunisia (North Africa) and there are no required shots.

Western Europe, no. Africa, yes. That includes French Africa like Reunion. I always get the flu shot every year. I think it helps when you travel.

Hi,,,
When you travel to 3rd world countries it is required that you should have your shot record.. I work overseas and have to have 8 different shots.. Its not that I want them,, its to keep me from getting sick..
Most nations like France where you want to go, is ok, you do not need vacinations for things...... enjoy yourself..
good luck

you don't have to get shots to go to france, but you should make sure that all your regular immunizations are up to date for your own personal health.
the reason you need shots to go to africa is beacuse there are many diseases there that your body has never come into contact with, making you much more susceptible.(sp?)
France doesn't have much in the way of disease you aren't familiar with, so go and have a blast.

If your in the US traveling to another nation I would surely check with your Doctor or go to the US Travel website to see if one needs special attention. You could get something that you might not be able to just wash off.
