RE: Vaccines - Japan An Alternative & Considered Approach To Vaccine Study! 😃
Interesting. I live in Japan and have two kids. I will have to check with my wife to see what vaccines the kids got, but I know a ton of them were required. Not sure what ones they were... again, will have to check on that. I know there were a few given here that the US doesn't require (TB was one of those, I think) and there were a few that Japan doesn't require but the US embassy told us we were required to get before we could get our kids a US passport.
The US embassy told you that? Really? Man. Our son has his passport and hasn’t had any vaccinations. I really don’t trust the folks at the embassy any farther than I can throw them.
Yes treat them with caution and know your rights! UPvoted! =)
Yeah? Hmmm. Looking back, I should have questioned that, but at the time I was kind of in a hurry (I had procrastinated getting his passport and we had lined up a trip to the states soon) and I was just kind of like "ok, whatever, just tell me what I have to do to get the damn passport". My kids were born in a natural birth place, and it seems like everyone there was an anti-vaxxer. I'm surprised they didn't say something. Then again, they probably figured a gaijin wouldn't listen to them about such things.
How interesting... Thank you for your comment I will need to look into this! UPvoted and followed! =)
