Hello there,

I'm heading to Korea in a couple of weeks and am planning on traveling in India afterwards. I'd like to get the typhoid vaccination before I go, but it's quite pricey here ($100 USD). I was wondering if it would be cheaper if I waited and got it in Korea? I believe I have the standard NHIC insurance (although it's $54 upfront instead of a monthly paycheck deduction, so maybe it's a tad different...). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Also, same question as above, but regarding malaria pills. Anyone been prescribed them before in Korea? And if so, what type and how much did they run?

Thanks again!

I can't speak to either of the things you mentioned, but I did get two hep shots here; they ran about 30,000W each - similar to home, because they're not covered by the national insurance policy.
