Hi
I'm going to work in Shenzhen. Do I need this inoculation? If I do can you get it done in China? It's about �165 in the UK! |

Both a doctor at a private clinic and a nurse at the NHS, both of whom specialise in travel immunisations, told me this was THE site to go to for these types of questions.
And, yeah, some of them are expensive. And need multiple jabs to be effective.

This site states you need the J.P jab for South Korea too. I was in Seoul for three years and luckily didn't catch this disease. I'm going to get the first round of jabs then hopefully bring the medicine with me as I've run out of time in the UK, maybe a Chinese hospital will give me the extra shots or something. Hopefully I'm not over reacting about this. |
