| No, they're not required. However, it's recommended by the CDC to get the Hepatitis A and B shots. Also make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shots (every 10 years). |

I strongly recommend a .45 at close range, behind the ear.
Far less painful. |

Kentucker,
Gator is right about the hep shots, they aren't required, but if you want to get them it's not a bad idea.
My doctor checked the CDC site when I went in for a physical exam before I went to Korea the first time. I got the first series of hep shots but never finished them. |

Yes, get the HEP shots. HEP is very common in the asian community.
Your liver will thank you. |

Hang out by the DMZ and if you're lucky, you'll get some shots.  |
