  Immunizations

  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 Ireland:

  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.

  Recent outbreaks

  A measles outbreak was reported in May 2012 from West Cork, reaching 64 cases by the end of June. In August 2011, a measles outbreak was reported from the north side of Dublin. In October 2009, a measles outbreak occurred in the southern and western parts of Ireland, chiefly affecting children and teenagers from the Traveller Community (see ProMED-mail, October 23, 2009, and August 22, 2011). A total of 320 cases were reported from Ireland between August 2009 and February 2010, nearly two-thirds of whom were unvaccinated, many in the Traveller and Roma communities (see Eurosurveillance). An increase in measles activity was reported between May and September 2004, and before that between November 2002 and February 2003. A major measles outbreak involving more than 1000 people, including two deaths, was reported in the first half of 2000, chiefly in the north Dublin area. The increase in measles cases is thought to be due to reduced vaccination of young children owing to negative publicity surrounding measles vaccine (see the National Disease Surveillance Centre). All travelers born after 1956 should make sure they have had either two documented measles immunizations or a blood test showing measles immunity. This does not apply to people born before 1957, who are presumed to be immune to measles. 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 Ireland.

  A mumps outbreak was reported in April 2008 from the Mid-West area, with over half of the cases occurring among students at the University of Limerick. In late 2004, a number of mumps outbreaks were reported from higher education colleges, apparently related to the fact that, in Ireland, many in this age group never received measles-mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine as children but were never exposed to natural mumps infection due to the extensive use of MMR in others (see Eurosurveillance). The outbreaks continued into 2005, but appeared to subside in late 2006 and 2007. However, the number of cases began to rise again in 2008, reaching a total of 153 cases in the first four months of 2008, chiefly in those between the ages of 15 and 24 (see Eurosurveillance). All travelers born after 1956 should make sure they have had either two documented mumps or MMR immunizations or a blood test showing mumps immunity. This does not apply to people born before 1957, who are presumed to be immune. Children greater than 12 months of age should be given two doses of MMR vaccine, separated by one month, before travel to Ireland.

  A growing number of cases of leptospirosis are being reported from Ireland each year. The nationwide total rose from 22 in 2007 to 30 in 2008, including one fatality in an elderly man (see ProMED-mail, January 4, 2010). Leptospirosis is transmitted to humans by exposure to water contaminated by the urine of infected animals. In Ireland, most cases are acquired on farms or from watersport activities such as canoeing or swimming. 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. Those engaging in high-risk activities may consider taking a prophylactic 200 mg dose of doxycycline, either once weekly or as a one-time dose.

  Clusters of leptospirosis cases have been associated with canoeing on the River Liffey, especially in the autumn following heavy rainfall. A small number of cases developed in November 2004 among those who had been canoeing on the river over the national holiday weekend of October 23-25 (see Eurosurveillance for details). In November 2001, six cases were reported in association with canoeing on a particular stretch of the river in October 2001 (see EPI-Insight for further information).

  An outbreak of cryptosporidiosis was reported from Galway in March 2007, due to contamination of the municipal water supply. As of April 14, the number of laboratory confirmed cases was 182. Cryptosporidiosis is caused by an intestinal parasite which produces diarrhea and crampy abdominal pain, usually lasting 1-2 weeks. The disease may be especially severe in those with compromised immune systems, such as those infected with HIV. The infection is usually acquired by ingestion of contaminated water, but may also be transmitted by contaminated food and from person-to-person. Local health authorities advise that all water intended for drinking or food preparation should be boiled before use. Water can be used for personal hygiene, such as bathing, but only boiled water should be used for brushing teeth. For further information, go to Eurosurveillance, NATHNAC, the Health Service Executive West, and ProMED-mail (April 9, 2007).

  Four cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been identified in the Republic of Ireland. The disease is acquired by eating beef from cows with a related infection known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). 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.

  Other infections

  Liver infection caused by Fasciola hepaticum (liver fluke) has been reported in travelers to Ireland. A recent study indicates that the prevalence is increasing. Sheep, cattle, and dairy cows are chiefly affected, but humans may acquire the disease by eating fresh watercress. For further information, go to ProMED-mail (November 17, 2002).

  Brucellosis is occasionally reported. Cattle are the most common source of infection.

  HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is reported, but travelers are not at risk unless they have unprotected sexual contacts or receive injections or blood transfusions.

  For disease statistics and updates on recent outbreaks, go to the National Disease Surveillance Centre.

  General 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.

  Traveling 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.
