Is it really necessary to get vaccinated before you go to Korea? Korea is not a developing country so would it be ok to NOT get the shots....if i do need it....what shots should I get?

first of all, Korea IS a developing country despite what you might think - just a few months ago there was an article in the K Times that said efforts were being made etc perhaps in the next year or two K would be "upgraded" or whatever to a "developed country"

next, please go to cdc.gov and check on what you need and why

hep a and b are a MUST because it's present in the seafood here and very difficult to avoid and if you think it's too expensive well how much do you think a new liver will cost?

furthermore very few people come here and do not go anywhere else which means if you want to travel elsewhere in asia, vacs. will do you good there also

don't play around with your life it's the only one you got
