 |
|
Hi,
Hopefully I'll be flying over to South Korea in February, but one thing that I'm not too sure on is vaccinations.
I know that for some countries you need to get vaccinated months in advance, what sort of jabs do I need for Korea, anyone know? |

| Dude, get to the local NHS for advice. They might give you the 3 month hep jab if you have time, plus one or two others. Korea is a green country on the chart, same as the UK but if you travel to China or South East Asia while you are here that is a different story. |

| This is according to the US CDC website. I went to the victorian order of nurses in Canada for some shots before leaving. Many have come here with no shots. But I recommend getting your Twinrix (Hep A and B) shots. Cost me 100 bucks a shot but good for 20 years. Got one right away, the second a month later, and the third between 6 months to one year later. Good because of all the food sharing here and saliva mixing onto peoples chopsticks. |
