    As far as I remember the injections are recommended and not compulsory. We have travelled regularly to Turkey for 20 years (with children as babies and upwards) and have never had any of the injections. Dont know if this is of any use to you
    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

    When i went to Turkey 10 years ago I got several injections.

    I think they were for some form of Hepatitis and possibly polio but I can't remember for certain
