Many parents believe that there is no need to vaccinate kids because it is difficult to contract risky diseases as most children around us are vaccinated. But taking a decision to not vaccinate your child may prove to be detrimental. Many infections like Measles or Mumps can lead to long term disabilities or major complications for life. Like most developed countries, the Czech Republic also has a list of vaccines that people living here need to comply with.
Regular vaccination against infectious diseases is free of charge for the persons living here. Citizens and Expats with permanent residence in the Czech Republic are required to receive the stipulated vaccination for themselves and their children.
Nurseries or pre-school facilities accept only those children who have received stipulated regular vaccination and have a written record that they are immune to the disease.
Here are some links to the details of immunisation and vaccination schedules in the Czech Republic.
