Proof Of Shots When Entering Philippines Customs?

[jpbago]

 

I recommend getting the Hep AB, tetanus, and TB shots.

I also recommend the rabies series if you can afford it

 

 

I think that the rabies series is for only after you get bitten and it is free at the Health Centers. It is for the locals anyways and maybe for me too with my wife's contacts.

It is a 5 shot series. You get 3 if I remember correctly, one week apart and then if ever possibly exposed you get 2 booster shots. If you don't have the rabies vaccine and are exposed, they give you all 5 shots at once in the area around where you were exposed or bitten. With rabies endemic everywhere here and hardly anyone getting their dogs vaccinated, it is probably a good idea if you can afford it or be reimbursed.

In all Honesty I think any Shots the OP fells like getting before he comes can only be good for himself.

When he arrives here and see the huge Queues at passport Control, he will Understand why very few things are asked for.

Mainly if Ever it is the Onward Ticket only and in some 18 years I have never been asked but always of course had it handy.

 

I have only been asked for our Marriage Certificate once. Since Azon has her Married Passport now things are OK

 

I personally have never heard of Any health Shot Proof needed and never heard of any Requirement.

But like all things here, the Mileage may vary and depends on what the Immigration Officer had for breakfast and/or his wife is still in love with him. :rolleyes:

 

:unsure: Think about it a moment or two gang :thumbsup:

[Call me bubba]

rarely have they ever asked for proof.......BUT.. better be safe than not prepared..

 

I'm planning on getting some shots here in the US before traveling to PH. Do they generally require that you have proof that you've received them? Such as a doctor's note of services performed? 

 

Update your HEPA, TETANUS  at the very least    :morning1:

 

I got my shots updated before I came over the first time. They gave me some shot card from the CDC which I keep with my passport.

 

 

I recommend getting the Hep AB, tetanus, and TB shots   . :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Preparing for Your Trip to the Philippines

Before visiting the Philippines,

you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination:

 

(Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)

To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria, if you need it.

Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave,
you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.

CDC recommends that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine.
Find a travel medicine clinic near you. If you have a medical condition, you should also share your travel plans with any doctors you are currently seeing for other medical reasons.

If your travel plans will take you to more than one country during a single trip, be sure to let your health-care provider know so that you can receive the appropriate vaccinations and information for all of your destinations.
Long-term travelers, such as those who plan to work or study abroad, may also need additional vaccinations as required by their employer or school.

Although yellow fever is not a disease risk in the Philippines, the government requires some travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever virus transmission to present proof of yellow fever vaccination.
If you will be traveling to the Philippines from any country other than the United States, this requirement may affect you. For specific requirement details, see Yellow Fever & Malaria Information, by Country.

Be sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date. Check the links below to see which vaccinations adults and children should get.

Routine vaccines, as they are often called, such as for influenza, chickenpox (or varicella), polio, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), and diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) are given at all stages of life; see the childhood and adolescent immunization schedule and routine adult immunization schedule.

Routine vaccines are recommended even if you do not travel. Although childhood diseases, such as measles, rarely occur in the United States, they are still common in many parts of the world. A traveler who is not vaccinated would be at risk for infection.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Vaccine recommendations are based on the best available risk information.
Please note that the level of risk for vaccine-preventable diseases can change at any time.
Vaccination or Disease
Recommendations or Requirements for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Routine
Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots, such as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, poliovirus vaccine, etc.

Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG)

Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors.

Hepatitis B

Recommended for all unvaccinated persons traveling to or working in countries with intermediate to high levels of endemic HBV transmission (see map), especially those who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment (e.g., for an accident).

Typhoid
Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in Southeast Asia, especially if staying with friends or relatives or visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas where exposure might occur through food or water.

Japanese encephalitis

Recommended if you plan to visit rural farming areas and under special circumstances, such as a known outbreak of Japanese encephalitis,

Rabies Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, or hiking. Also recommended for travelers with significant occupational risks (such as veterinarians), for long-term travelers and expatriates living in areas with a significant risk of exposure, and for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats, carnivores, and other mammals. Children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals, may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites.
