Vaccinations for South Korea

[Rowdythree]

Has anyone been, which vaccinations did you get? I had an appointment with an advisor yesterday and she gave me a long list of recommended ones! We're staying mainly in cities with a couple of short stays in rural areas.

I'm confused

I have been several times and ime South Korea is a very clean country with vg infrastructure and, I assume, vg healthcare. I didn’t see stray animals roaming the streets and restaurants and hotels were all very clean.
I live in China so have had every vaccination going so did not do any specific research for travel to South Korea. For travel in general I would ensure all childhood vaccinations are up to date and also add hep B and typhoid.

Also consider Japanese encephalitis if going to a rice-growing area in spring or summer.

Thank you, we're going in April, but not to a rice growing area. I was thinking we'd have the rabies vaccine plus tetanus boosters.

This is a link from the government page on travel vaccinations. Www.travelhealthpro.org.uk. It gives you all the relevant info for the country and your circumstances.

Thanks @BubblesBuddy

You are welcome. If you need the travel clinic via your GP, contact them ASAP. Mine takes ages to get appointments! 6-8 weeks.

This is the Fitfortravel one which is Scottish NHS:

Might be a bit late for rabies as is 3 shots over a month or so, so better get your skates on.

Worth having the free ones as well.
