Pregnant- do I need vaccinations for travel to Portugal?

[titnomatani]

Hello all, I've only just got round to checking and I'm a bit confused- I'm currently 5 months pregnant and have a 1 year old. We're due to fly in a fortnight but I'm not sure if either of us needs any vaccinations? My 1 year old is up to date with his vaccinations- does he need any others? I'm due to get my flu jab at my 6 month check- do I need one before I fly? Also, any other vaccinations I need? First trip with my baby and as a pregnant lady so I'm a bit anxious :/

You should have checked with your practice nurse before this as they often run a travel clinic. Some vaccinations need longer than 2 weeks plus you may not get an appointment in time.

Looks like you're probably ok with what you have already

You don’t need any vaccines for Portugal!

If you can get the flu jab before travelling I would do so.

Thank you all! That's reassuring! I rang the surgery this morning and have asked the nurse to call me back. Still waiting...

@dementedpixie- I was there on the 27th and asked if I needed any vaccinations, she ummed and aahed and then got busy with something else. I had my grisly baby distracting me so didn't get a chance to confirm.

@titnomatani - have you had your answer? If not ring Travel Health Pro. They will be able to give you the answer you need

You don’t need any vacs for Portugal (used to be a travel clinic nurse).

No you’re fine
