Is Travelling Long Distance With A Month Old Infant Safe?
i am planning on traveling to turkey when my baby is 4-6 weeks old to visit family. Will it be safe to travel as does not get injections till about 9 weeks old? also the injections that it gets at 9 weeks is it anymore at risk of getting these conditions outside the uk than it is if it was here? We cause the risk of, if we don't go when the baby is about 6 weeks and wait till later after the injections are given, we will need to travel on 2 or 3 flights to get there which i thought would be too much for a baby. Can you please help i don't know what to do. thanks Christina

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best, if possible, to wait till the baby has received at least the first immunization.
That way he or she would at least be have some measure of cover.
I hope this helps
