 |
|
I am due to leave for South Korea to teach on December 3rd. Do I need any immunizations? Are any required to enter the country? I prefer not to have any for health reasons actually. Any info would be so appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!! |

Hep A and B are endemic here and vaccines for both are well advised.
They require a series (2 or 3 shots depending on the vaccine) spaced over 30-180 days so get your 1st one soon.
MMR and DPT are also well advised if you haven't had them. You will be working with kids and the chances of catching something is very high. |

| If you've never had CP as a child you'll want one for that as well. |
