|
|
Does anyone know of a doctors office / hospital in the Seoul area that can provide the HPV vaccine? The name of the vaccine is called Gardasil. I have not yet been able to find a clinic that has this vaccine.
Thanks for your help! |

I've heard it won't be available in Korea until November. Check with the international clinic in Itaewon. |

Congrats on taking responsibility for your own sexual and reproductive health. To bad more adults (never mind parents and their children) don't do the same thing. |

You can get it at Dr. Sung's clinic in Hannam. Just do a search on here for all the information on how to get there etc. It'll cost you $250 per session, you need 3 shots so a total of $750. The clinic is first rate though. |

The International Clinic in Itaewon does it too- I was just asking about it there a couple weeks ago. Three injections at 200,000 Won per injection over a period of six months. |

doesn't the effectiveness of the shot diminish once you become sexually active? |

Yeah. If you have HPV, this won't do anything. This is why you want to give it to girls before they become sexually active. |
