 |
|
I'm going to be working in CHina for a while and will arrive there early October. I honestly can't remember the last time I was vaccinated for anything so I guess I'm due! I've been informed it's essential I have the Hep A and Hep B, Typhoid and Influenze shots. Sounds great.
Where is a good place to have these done in Seoul? I only know of the International Clinic in Itaewon and shudder at the thought of what it would cost. |

You can get the Hep A, B and influenza at your neighborhood "hospital" for minimal cost (about 40k (each) for the hep shots and subsequent boosters and 15k for influenza.)
I don't know about the cost of the typhoid shot but the immunization period (as I recall) is quite short (6 months) and requires regular boosters. (better to just make sure your water is boiled or bottled).
