Vaccinations Required?

Hi people,

Myself and a few friends should be venturing out to Borovets in January and I'd like to know if we need any vaccinations? Just done a quick google search and I'm in mixed messages as to what to do?

Anybody been/living here that could help me out?

Cheers.

Not to my knowledge and I've been living here for over 3 years now.

re: Vaccinations Required?

If your doctors says so then I cannot disagree - but I've travelled to Bulgaria over 40 times and never has my doctor ever recommended any vacinations nor anybody else I know of.

Looking on the web it does say that Hepitatis A is recommended for Bulgaria, but not compulsory. All the eastern european countries have the same recommendation.
First time I've seen that!

re: Vaccinations Required?

But the World Health Organisation site says that there are no vaccination requirements for international travellers to Bulgaria....
