As a family living abroad, maybe constantly moving between countries, dealing with your children’s immunisations can be confusing and downright overwhelming. Different countries have different vaccination schedules, different endemic diseases and different regulations.

We know that our community frequently wonders how vaccinations in Italy might differ from other countries. We have therefore created an overview comparing schedules between Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. For any questions or doubts you may have, you can book a consultation with Bellies Abroad pediatrician Francesco Gesualdo, a vaccine researcher at Bambino Gesù Hospital, to openly discuss your concerns and receive well informed, fact based answers to your questions.
