Summary You can't Edit
1Summary of recommendations
In general, no special health vaccinations or medications are necessary for travel to Germany. Because of recent E. coli outbreak, travelers should avoid eating sprouts. In view of recent measles outbreaks, all travelers should be sure they are fully immunized against measles. Tick precautions are advised for travel to rural or forested areas in the spring or summer, as below.
Vaccinations:
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) Two doses recommended for all travelers born after 1956, if not previously given Tetanus-diphtheria Revaccination recommended every 10 years Influenza Recommended for all travelers from November through April -
Immunizations You can't Edit
2Immunizations
All children should be up-to-date on routine childhood immunizations, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, prior to international travel. The following are the recommended vaccinations for Germany:
Measles-mumps-rubella vaccine: two doses are recommended (if not previously given) for all travelers born after 1956, unless blood tests show immunity. Many adults born after 1956 and before 1970 received only one vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella as children and should be given a second dose before travel. MMR vaccine should not be given to pregnant or severely immunocompromised individuals.
Tetanus-diphtheria vaccine is recommended for all travelers who have not received a tetanus-diphtheria immunization within the last 10 years.
Influenza vaccine is recommended for all travelers during flu season, which runs from November through April. Influenza vaccine may cause soreness at the injection site, low-grade fevers, malaise, and muscle aches. Severe reactions are rare. Influenza vaccine should not be given to pregnant women during the first trimester or those allergic to eggs.
Tick-borne encephalitis vaccine may be considered for long-term travelers who expect to be visiting rural or forested areas in the spring or summer. In Germany, the risk for tick-borne encephalitis is greatest in the states of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemburg in the south. There is also risk in parts of Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Thuringia. For further information on the risk of tick-borne encephalitis (called Fruhsommer-Meningoenzephalitis in German) in different parts of the country, go to the Robert Koch-Insititut. Two vaccines have been developed: TicoVac, also known as FSME Immun (Baxter AG), which is manufactured in Austria, and Encepur (Chiron Behring), which is made in Germany. The vaccines are approved for use in a number of European countries, but not the United States. A full series consists of three doses over a one-year period, which is not practical for most travelers, though limited data indicate that Encepur may be given in an accelerated schedule for faster immunity. Tick precautions, as discussed below, are strongly advised.

Recent outbreaks of diseases You can't Edit
3Recent outbreaks
An outbreak of Legionnaires' disease was reported from the city of Juelich in September 2014, causing 23 confirmed cases. The outbreak may have been related to a contaminated cooling tower at the Forschungszentrum (scientific research institute). Legionnaires' disease is a bacterial infection which typically causes pneumonia but may also involve other organ systems. The disease is usually transmitted by airborne droplets from contaminated water sources, such as cooling towers, air conditioners, whirlpools, and showers. Legionnaires' disease is not transmitted from person-to-person. Any visitor to Juelich who develops fever, cough or chest tightness should seek immediate medical attention.
A Legionella outbreak occurred in the cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm in December 2009 and January 2010, causing 65 cases and five deaths. The source of the outbreak was not identified (see Eurosurveillance).
Outbreaks of Q fever, usually related to sheep, occur periodically in Germany. Most human cases occur in those who have had direct contact with infected animals, though outbreaks may involve others in the community, since Q fever is spread by airborne droplets. An outbreak was reported from Sulzfeld (Rhoen-Grabfeld district) between January and May 2014, causing 12 confirmed and 25 suspected cases. A number of cases were reported from North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse in February 2011, in association with outbreaks in sheep flocks. An outbreak totaling 73 cases was reported from three county districts in North-Rhine Westphalia between December 2000 and May 2001. Several flocks of sheep were identified as the likely source. The infection was probably transmitted by inhalation of infected dust from contaminated afterbirth during the lambing season. See Eurosurveillance for details. A previous outbreak was reported from Rollshausen, a small rural community, in spring 1996, probably originating in a large sheep farm. For an overview of Q fever in Germany, go to Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Symptoms of Q fever typically include fever, chills, nausea, headache, and body aches. Complications may include pneumonia, hepatitis, endocarditis (heart valve infection), and infections of the bones and joints. Pneumonia has been the predominant presentation in the Netherlands outbreak. In pregnant women, Q fever may lead to miscarriage. Q fever is primarily a disease of ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats, which shed the Q fever bacteria in their body fluids, especially birth products. Humans become infected by inhaling dust or aerosols contaminated by body fluids from infected animals. The disease is not transmitted from person-to-person. Travelers should avoid farms in the affected areas. If this is not possible, avoid going near areas where animals are kept, such as barns and pens, and avoid direct contact with animals. Travelers should also be sure not to drink unpasteurized milk or eat products made from unpasteurized milk.
An increase in the number of hantavirus infections was reported from Germany between October 2011 and April 2012, chiefly from Baden-Wurttemberg, a federal state in the south-west of Germany. A total of 852 cases were notified. It was thought that the early rise might be due to an increase the preceding year in the number of beech mast trees, which produce exceptionally high quantities of seeds, an important food source for bank voles, followed by an early and massive reproduction of the bank vole populations during winter 2011 and spring 2012 (see Eurosurveillance). An increase in hantavirus infections was also reported from Baden-Wurttemberg in early 2010, resulting in more than 700 cases by July. At around the same time, an increased number of cases was reported from Bavaria, chiefly from the Swabian Alps, Bavarian Forest, and the Main-Spessart region. A rise in cases was also observed in the first few months of 2007, chiefly in Baden-Wurttemberg, but also in Bayern (Bavaria), North-Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Hessen, and Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania (see Eurosurveillance). An increased number of cases was described in spring 2005, chiefly in several federal states north of the river Main, including Lower Saxony, North-Rhine-Westphalia, Hessen, and Thuringia. Unlike previous years, most infections were acquired in urban areas (see Eurosurveillance). In Germany, the known regions with higher prevalence of human hantavirus infections are Schwäbische Alb in Baden-Württemberg and parts of Unterfranken in Bayern.
Hantaviruses cause an illness known as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, chills, weakness, and dizziness, often associated with headache, muscle pains, abdominal pain, and back ache. The main complication is kidney failure. In Germany, the predominant hantavirus is Puumala virus, which is carried by the bank vole (a type of rodent which lives predominantly in forested areas dominated by deciduous trees). The virus is acquired by exposure to rodent excreta, usually by inhalation. Most travelers are at low risk for infection.
A large outbreak of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic syndrome, caused by a particularly aggressive strain of toxin-producing E. coli (O104:H4), was reported from Germany in early May 2011. The outbreak caused a total of 264 confirmed cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), including 29 deaths, and 677 confirmed non-HUS cases, including 17 deaths, in the European Union. Approximately two-thirds of the cases were reported from five states in northern Germany: Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Lower Saxony. Cases were also reported from a number of other countries. Nearly all of these cases had a travel history to northern Germany. On July 26, 2011, the outbreak was declared officially over. Unlike most outbreaks of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which primarily affect children, most patients were aged 20 years or older. Symptoms of infection by this organism may include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and low-grade fever. Early symptoms of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, a life-threatening complication which may lead to kidney failure, include decreased frequency or volume of urination, extreme fatigue, and loss of pink color in the cheeks and inside the lower eyelids. Signs of hemolytic-uremic syndrome typically start 5–7 days after the start of diarrhea, and diarrhea or bloody stools may no longer be present when it develops.
The outbreak appears to have been caused by contaminated bean and seed sprouts, including fenugreek, mung beans, lentils, adzuki beans, and alfalfa. The source might have been fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt. For further information, go to Eurosurveillance, ProMED-mail, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control.
A mumps outbreak was reported from northern Bavaria in July 2010, causing 115 cases by the end of October (see Eurosurveillance). All travelers born after 1956 should make sure they have had either two documented MMR or mumps immunizations or a blood test showing mumps immunity. Those born before 1957 are presumed to be immune.
A series of measles outbreaks have been reported from Germany over the last several years, chiefly involving unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children. A total of 1607 measles cases was reported from Germany in 2011, compared to only 780 in 2010. Although the recommendation is to give the first dose of measles vaccine at age 12 months, many German children are not vaccinated until they are two or three years old, resulting in a large susceptible population (see the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal 2002;21:826-830). All travelers born after 1956 should make sure they have had either two documented MMR or measles immunizations or a blood test showing measles immunity. Those born before 1957 are presumed to be immune. Although measles immunization is usually begun at age 12 months, children between the ages of 6 and 11 months should be given an initial dose of measles or MMR vaccine before traveling to Germany.
A measles outbreak was reported from Essen between March and May 2010, causing 71 cases, chiefly in unvaccinated children attending a Waldorf anthroposophic schools, where the parents are known for their critical attitudes towards childhood immunizations, especially measles (see Eurosurveillance). In January 2010, a measles outbrook occurred in a Waldorf school in Berlin, causing 62 cases by the end of March (see Eurosurveillance). A measles outbreak in April 2008, which caused more than 50 cases, was linked to an anthroposophic school in Salzburg, Austria, most of whose students were unvaccinated (see Eurosurveillance). In October 2007, a measles outbreak was reported from southern Bavaria, chiefly involving residents of the greater Munich area, most of whom had never received measles vaccine (see Eurosurveillance). Between January and June 2007, a measles outbreak was reported from Passau and Rottal-Inn, two districts of Lower Bavaria in southeast Germany sharing a border with Austria. Almost 30% attended a local Montessori school frequented by pupils from the two affected districts and from Austria (see Eurosurveillance). A measles outbreak was also reported in January 2006 from the state of North Rhine Westphalia, chiefly affecting the cities of Duisburg and Mönchengladbach and the district of Wesel. As of June 15, a total of 1452 cases had been identified, mostly in older children and young adults (see Eurosurveillance). A number of other measles outbreaks have recently been reported from the states of Hessen, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, and North Rhine Westphalia. In the previous outbreaks, most cases occurred in children who had not been vaccinated (see Eurosurveillance).
The number of cases of tick-borne encephalitis almost doubled from 2004 to 2006 (see Eurosurveillance), reaching 546 cases for the year 2006, the largest number since notification began. This was preceded by a sharp rise in the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis in the late 1990s (see Eurosurveillance). The number of cases fell to 326 in 2007. The number rose to 424 in the year 2011, then fell to 196 in 2012. Yearly variations appear to be due to ecological factors affecting the natural foci of the disease. In Germany, tick-borne encephalitis occurs mainly in the southern part of the country, chiefly in the federal states of Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria, but also in Thuringia and Hesse. One small risk area is located in Rhineland-Palatinate. Cases have also been recently identified in areas not previously defined as risk areas, such as Saxony, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt, and Brandenburg.
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection of the central nervous system transmitted by tick bites, usually after travel to rural or forested areas in the spring or summer. The infection may also be acquired by ingesting unpasteurized dairy products. The disease typically begins as a flu-like illness, including fever, headache, and vomiting, followed by the development of neurologic symptoms. Neurologic damage may be permanent, causing chronic headaches, difficulty concentrating, muscle weakness or loss of balance. Tick-borne encephalitis vaccine should be considered for long-term travelers who expect to be visiting rural or forested areas in the spring or summer, especially in the southern part of the country. The vaccine is available in many European countries, but not the United States. Tick precautions are strongly advised, as below. As above, vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis should be considered for long-term travelers who expect to be visiting rural or forested areas in the spring or summer.
An outbreak of leptospirosis was reported among strawberry harvesters in July 2007 (see Clinical Infectious Diseases). Leptospirosis is transmitted to humans by exposure to water contaminated by the urine of infected animals. Symptoms may include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, conjunctivitis (pink eye), photophobia (light sensitivity), and rash. Most cases resolve uneventfully, but a small number may be complicated by meningitis, kidney failure, liver failure, or hemorrhage.
In the summer of 2006, wound infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus were reported in three people who had bathed in the Baltic Sea in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommernin. All had underlying chronic illnesses, including diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic edema, and chronic skin ulcer. Two cases of Vibrio vulnificus wound infections were also reported in Baltic Sea bathers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommernin in the summer of 2003. See Eurosurveillance for details. Wound infections caused by Vibrio species may progress rapidly and be life-threatening, especially in those with compromised immune systems. Those with chronic illnesses or open wounds should avoid swimming in the Baltic Sea during the warm weather months.
An outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza ("bird flu") was reported in March 2006 from a turkey farm in Saxony. Shortly before that, more than a hundred cases of avian influenza were reported among wild swans, ducks, geese, and birds of prey on Ruegen Island in the Baltic Sea, as well as a smaller number of cases in wild birds in other parts of the country. Between June and August, 2007, after more than a year without any new cases, dozens of cases were reported among wild aquatic birds in southern and eastern Germany, as well as an outbreak on two duck farms in Bavaria. In December 2007, three separate outbreaks were reported from poultry farms in Altglobsow (75 km north of Berlin), Bensdorf (85 km west of Berlin), and the state of Brandenburg. In October 2008, an outbreak occurred at a poultry farm in Saxony. No human cases have been reported from Germany to date.
Most travelers are at extremely low risk for avian influenza, since almost all human cases in other countries have occurred in those who have had direct contact with live, infected poultry, or sustained, intimate contact with family members suffering from the disease. The Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization do not advise against travel to areas affected by avian influenza, but recommend that travelers should avoid exposure to live poultry, including visits to poultry farms and open markets with live birds; should not touch any surfaces that might be contaminated with feces from poultry or other animals; and should make sure all poultry and egg products are thoroughly cooked. A vaccine for avian influenza was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but produces adequate antibody levels in fewer than half of recipients and is not commercially available. The vaccines for human influenza do not protect against avian influenza. Anyone who develops fever and flu-like symptoms after travel to Ruegen Island should seek immediate medical attention, which may include testing for avian influenza. For further information, go to the World Health Organization, Health Canada, the Centers for Disease Control, and ProMED-mail.
An outbreak of trichinellosis, affecting 17 people, was reported among members of an extended family living in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, eastern Germany, between December 2005 and March 2006. The outbreak was caused by consumption of undercooked pork products from a home-reared pig. See Eurosurveillance for further information. Trichinellosis is rare in Germany, but all pork products should be thoroughly cooked before consumption.
An outbreak of H7N7 avian influenza ("bird flu") was reported in May 2003 from Schwalmtal, a village near the Dutch border in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The outbreak appeared to have spread from the Netherlands, where cases of avian influenza were reported earlier in the year. Unlike H5N1 avian influenza, which is highly pathogenic, H7N7 avian influenza poses little risk to humans. Although transmission to humans was reported in the Netherlands, no human cases were seen in Germany. The outbreak was terminated by mass slaughter of poultry. For further information, go to Eurosurveillance.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow disease") has been identified, but transmission to humans has not been reported to date. At present, the risk of acquiring variant CJD from European beef appears to be extraordinarily low, at most about one in 10 billion servings. The Centers for Disease Control does not advise against eating European beef, but suggests that travelers who wish to reduce their risk may either abstain from beef while in Europe or eat only solid pieces of muscle meat, such as steak, rather than products like sausage or chopped meat that might be contaminated. There is no evidence of any risk from pork, lamb, milk or milk products. For recent updates, go to ProMED-mail.

Tick Protection You can't Edit
5Insect and Tick Protection
Wear long sleeves, long pants, and boots, with pants tucked in when traveling to rural or forested areas. Apply insect repellents containing 25-50% DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) or 20% picaridin (Bayrepel) to exposed skin (but not to the eyes, mouth, or open wounds). DEET may also be applied to clothing. Products with a lower concentration of either repellent need to be repplied more frequently. Products with a higher concentration of DEET carry an increased risk of neurologic toxicity, especially in children, without any additional benefit. Do not use either DEET or picaridin on children less than two years of age. For additional protection, apply permethrin-containing compounds to clothing and shoes. Permethrin-treated clothing appears to have little toxicity. Perform a thorough tick check at the end of each day with the assistance of a friend or a full-length mirror. Ticks should be removed with tweezers, grasping the tick by the head as close to the skin as possible and pulling straight out. Many tick-borne illnesses can be prevented by prompt tick removal.

General Advice You can't Edit
6General advice
Bring adequate supplies of all medications in their original containers, clearly labeled. Carry a signed, dated letter from your personal physician describing all medical conditions and listing all medications, including generic names. If carrying syringes or needles, be sure to carry a physician's letter documenting their medical necessity. Pack all medications in hand luggage. Carry a duplicate supply in the checked luggage. If you wear glasses or contacts, bring an extra pair. If you have significant allergies or chronic medical problems, wear a medical alert bracelet.
Make sure your health insurance covers you for medical expenses abroad. If not, supplemental insurance for overseas coverage, including possible evacuation, should be seriously considered. If illness occurs while abroad, medical expenses including evacuation may run to tens of thousands of dollars. For a list of travel insurance and air ambulance companies, go to Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad on the U.S. State Department website. Bring your insurance card, claim forms, and any other relevant insurance documents. Before departure, determine whether your insurance plan will make payments directly to providers or reimburse you later for overseas health expenditures. The Medicare and Medicaid programs do not pay for medical services outside the United States.
Pack a personal medical kit, customized for your trip (see description). Take appropriate measures to prevent motion sickness and jet lag, discussed elsewhere. On long flights, be sure to walk around the cabin, contract your leg muscles periodically, and drink plenty of fluids to prevent blood clots in the legs. For those at high risk for blood clots, consider wearing compression stockings.
Avoid contact with stray dogs and other animals. If an animal bites or scratches you, clean the wound with large amounts of soap and water and contact local health authorities immediately. Wear sun block regularly when needed. Use condoms for all sexual encounters. Ride only in motor vehicles with seat belts. Do not ride on motorcycles.

Travel with children You can't Edit
10Traveling with children
Before you leave, make sure you have the names and contact information for physicians, clinics, and hospitals where you can obtain emergency medical care if needed.
All children should be up-to-date on routine childhood immunizations, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Children who are 12 months or older should receive a total of 2 doses of MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, separated by at least 28 days, before international travel. Children between the ages of 6 and 11 months should be given a single dose of measles vaccine. MMR vaccine may be given if measles vaccine is not available, though immunization against mumps and rubella is not necessary before age one unless visiting a country where an outbreak is in progress. Children less than one year of age may also need to receive other immunizations ahead of schedule (see the accelerated immunization schedule).
Be sure to pack a medical kit when traveling with children. In addition to the items listed for adults, bring along plenty of disposable diapers, cream for diaper rash, and appropriate antibiotics for common childhood infections, such as middle ear infections.
