I was wondering where I could get a flu shot in Seoul, and if so, how much it costs.

Thanks!

Any/all doctor clinics will have the flu shot. Just a word of warning stay away from the really small neighborhood ones. They have been known to sell expired/fake medicines that may or may not work and might in fact be harmful to you.

I went to the International Clinic in Itaewon, across the street from Rocky Mountain Tavern. It cost me 25,000 for the shot and 10,000 to see the doctor....but I like this doctor, so for me it was worth it. I'm sure you could get cheaper somewhere else.

The local doctor here told me that I am a healthy young man, and don't need one. I went to the international clinic in Itaewon once, and they send me e-mail updates. Their e-mail suggests getting one. I think I will head over there and get one. I already wasted 8,000 won on the local doctor telling me I don't need it. Crying or Very sad

I got last week at Samsung Medical Center for about 11,000 won total (pretty sure about the price but may be wrong) with Korean health insurance.

In Ulsan, Dr Im in �� will do it for 15,000 inc. consultation (often free anyway) with no insurance.

They are most definately using the uptodate stuff.
