I'm flying into Canada to visit family. Are there shot requirements? If so, what shots do I need to get before I travel there?

There are no requirements for vaccinations against any diseases here in Canada, as tourists are not at significant risk to catch the diseases here as they would be in other countries, such as places in Africa.
Except for an outbreak of botulism, the World Health Organization has typically only reported outbreaks of influenza since 2003.
The only local diseases or outbreaks that have surfaced recently are the following:
- Avian Influenza, a few reported cases in 2006 but it was contained by Health Canada.
- Gastroenteritis, an outbreak in various hospitals and old age homes in the Montreal area in December 2006.
- SARS, back in 2003 there was an outbreak in several hospitals in the Toronto area.
- Lyme disease, caused by exposure to deer ticks when in rural area, such as from camping or hiking trips.

we are no longer South Africa you comprehend! we don't have many illnesses in Canada...i'd even bypass as far as saying you have a miles less threat of catching some thing up right here than you will contained in america. as far as what you elect, all you elect is a passport or an more desirable driving force's license to circulate the border...

no shots needed. There are currently no known out breaks of infectious diseases so you're good to come and enjoy.
