No vaccinations are required, however there is a risk of
tick-borne encephalitis for those travelling in forested areas
during the summer months. The bird flu virus was found in dead
migratory swans and stringent measures have been taken by the
Croatian authorities to contain the virus. Travellers to Croatia
are unlikely to be affected, but should avoid any contact with live
birds and ensure poultry and egg dishes are well cooked. Medical
care is fairly good, with free emergency medical care available to
UK citizens with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), though
some medicines are in short supply in public facilities. Non-UK
nationals are advised to invest in health insurance.
