From what I hear quite a few Koreans have it. Have you heard of any foreigners getting this disease? Other E-Teachers you know, or just heard of that picked it up?

Hep is everywhere. It's in all countries. It effects natives and foreigners.

Before coming over here quite a few years ago I looked into getting shots and immunizations and what not and I remember hepatitis being one of the illnesses one should get immunized for.

I didn't know Korean were carriers until reading this post.

Thankfully I went through the whole immunization process a long time ago when I worked with intellectually handicapped people to put myself through college and university.

no hep, but a co worker did develop a serious ( non drinking related) liver problem shortly after arriving.
