| Where can you get vaccination shots in Korea? Are they easy to get? (I am looking for Japanese Enciphilitas Shot, possibly Malaria...in case I travel to Hong Kong or Thailand.) A little help....! |

You can get a shot for Japanese Encephalitis at any hospital/clinic in the country.
There is NO SHOT for malaria. If you want to you can take a series of pills, starting 2 weeks before your travel and lasting for a month after your return. Malaria is not endemic in HK so there is no worry anyway. Risk is minimal.
You have more to worry about from Dengue Fever and there is no shot for that.
Also, if you are travelling to S.E. Asia, make sure you have had your Hep A and Hep B shots. |
