yea yeah, i'm sure it's been asked a million times but i dont' see it in the first 20 something posts.... so here goes

i checked on travel.state.gov to see what shots i needed for the countries i plan on seeing. i didn't see anything that i needed however germany wants proof of sufficient health insurance.

has any one had problems getting into countries because they trouble you over 'sufficient health insurance' or a shot you're missing.

i'm going to: england, ireland, belgium, netherlands, germany, czech republic, france, spain, portugal, italy

You're fine. I was in a few of those countries earlier in the year. I'm still healthy as can be and didn't get any shots.

p.s

I've never heard of people getting rejected from countriesb/c of 'sufficient health insurance' or a missing shot.

but health insurance should be a must!!!! If you break your leg or something worse you'll get pegged with a HUGE hosptial bill.
