Health issues are generally the same in Germany as they are in the United States. Adapting to a new climate, food, water, and way of life may affect one’s health during the first few weeks but usually has no lasting effects. If you plan to travel to Germany and beyond, it is advisable to make sure that your medications are up to date. For more information visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
