Health

Also see Practical A to Z.

No vaccinations are necessary. However ticks are a problem in northern Croatia and the Zagreb region and can be a serious risk. Vaccines possible (3 injections).

The European Health Insurance Card is not valid in Croatia. To claim medical expenses, keep all receipts and contact your local health service once home. Repatriation insurance is recommended. Some credit cards include travel insurance; check before you leave home.
