Are there any locations at which one can get a Yellow Fever Vaccination in or around Busan? My International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever will expire soon and I need a new one eventually. Must you do this in Seoul or can vaccines be sent to major cities like Busan?

Much appreciated!

I got a health check back and I tested negative for immunity to Hep A or B despite definitely getting all the shots. Guess it's not lifelong immunity. The international clinic charges 70,000 won/shot for A and 30,000/shot for B (or the other way around) so the alternative posted in Dongdaemun is sweet info.

update:

http://www.nmc.go.kr/

here's the place in seoul (near dongdaemun) that can do numerous vaccinations, including yellow fever and typhoid.

the yellow fever injection is 21,000 won.

bookings are essential, as is a korean speaker to help make the booking (by phone or via their site).


Here's a map to this place:

Dongdaemun Culture & History Park exit 13.

Here's prices at my local gu health centre:
Hepatitis B - 3400
Japanese encephalitis - 2850
Typhoid - free
