Health in Sweden: vaccines, water, medical care and insurance
No routine vaccines are required for most travellers to Sweden; bring your standard immunisations up to date, drink tap water safely, and have travel insurance that covers medical costs and repatriation. This advice applies to all visitors, but check with a travel clinic if you have special health needs or a compromised immune system.
