Poland travel health
Required is not recommended: the first is what the border asks about, the second is what a clinic would suggest. Both, for Poland, then the number to dial and what care costs a visitor. Applies to every guide in Poland: Krakow, Gdańsk.
Required to enter
Nothing. No vaccination certificate is asked for at the border.
Recommended
- Routine vaccinations up to date
- Tick-borne encephalitis for forest areas in the east and north-east
Emergency number
112, or 999 for an ambulance
Care for visitors
Good and affordable
EU/EEA and Swiss visitors are treated on the same terms as residents with an EHIC or GHIC card; UK visitors use a GHIC. Everyone else pays, and travel insurance is worth having for the repatriation cover rather than the treatment. Private clinics are inexpensive and much faster than the public queue for anything non-urgent.
The general rules — clinic timing, water, mosquitoes, insurance — are in travel health tips.
