Moving to Romania with children
- Bring your child's vaccination records from abroad and show them to your family doctor, who gives the vaccines in the national calendar.
- Common differences: Romania gives BCG (tuberculosis) at birth, the 2nd MMR dose at 5 years, and a dTpa booster at 14.
Moving away from Romania
- Take the vaccination booklet (carnet de vaccinări) with you, or ask your family doctor for a copy of the record before you leave.
- Your new country may schedule vaccines differently. For example, Germany requires proof of measles vaccination for Kita and school.
