🇷🇴 Vaccines for Romania

Entry requirements & recommendations for travel to Romania

Romania requires no specific travel vaccines, though Hepatitis A is recommended given the variable food and water hygiene in rural areas outside Bucharest and major cities. Tick-borne encephalitis is present in forested regions, particularly in Transylvania, and is relevant for hikers and outdoor travellers during the warmer months. Rabies is also more present in rural Romania than in most of Western Europe, related to a larger stray dog population — relevant mainly for those spending extended time outside cities or in close contact with animals. Most visitors travel to Bucharest, Transylvania's castles and medieval towns, or the Carpathian mountains, where standard precautions apply.
