|
|
I'm about to go to China and was thinking of getting a Diphtheria/Tetanus booster shot since I haven't had one since I was a kid. I live in Suwon, does anyone have a recommendation as to where/how to do this?
Thanks,

Your closest clinic / hospital can do it for you. DPT is a common shot for kids and it will be in stock. The doctor will also be familiar with the terms, "immunization" and "DPaT".
If you want and are close, Aju university hospital or St. Vincent (between Namum and Dong Suwon SaGaRi) can also do it for you.
I got my booster at the little hospital next to the bus stop where the airport bus drops off by Haniltown (kitty corner from the SK gas bar) when I last needed it. |

You mean you didn't get them before you came out to Korea? Whoa. The only one I couldn't get in England was Japanese Encephalitis because it's 3 injections over a number of weeks. Tried to get it done here and doc said there was no point. Quite a dangerous injection from what I hear. |
