Ireland
No inoculations are officially required.
Inoculations for tetanus and polio should be reviewed. The health care system in Ireland usually requires doctors to take care of their own expensees and costs. People with a lower income can apply for a „medical card“ at the„health board“ so that they can receive medical care free of charge. Emergency treatment can be received at public hospitals. In order to decrease waiting times, it is recommended that individuals work with a private health insurance company.
