Heading off on saturday for a week. I will be staying in a pretty decent hotel in Bohol.
What shots / meds are needed for the one week trip? |

Nothing that you shouldn't have already had for Korea.
Take some sunscreen and mosquito repellent (the bottles you find there are TINY).
Pack light - stuff there is pretty cheap and you will need room to bring it home with you. If you are flying Cebu Pacific be aware that their baggage allowance is only 15kg (NOT 20kg as most other airlines are).
Have a great trip.

i have had zero vaccinations for korea.
I don't have any hepatitus vaccines. The only vaccines I got were as a kid, (mmr, and some six needle thing) I don't really keep account of my medical history as I have not been sick nor do I like to take medication. |

Too late to get immunized against hep anyway (takes 2 shots a month apart). Best you could do would be the 1st of 2.
You should be fine anyway. The resorts use bottled / R.O. filtered water (the tap water on Panglao is brackish).
Just don't get ice in your drinks or eat cut fruits from the street vendors when you are in town.

For the last week or so it has been rainy (sometimes heavy) at night and nice during the day with scattered cloud.
Lots of places to stay down at Alona.
If you want to call ahead and reserve a room:
http://www.bohol.ph/article75.html#panglao will give you a list of resorts and direct phone numbers to the resorts.
There is no requirement for deposits if you call direct and they will hold a room if you are arriving late.
