vaccinations

none

vaccinations

the answer is none

Hi. This is not the information we get in Australia about travelling to these areas. Have a look at www.welltogo.com.au and decide for yourself.

My Dr. recomended Adacel and Twinrix

Certainly no vaccinations are required. Some might be recommended depending on your specific circumstances and plans.

A typical tourist travelling to these cities is not going to be exposed to many diseases. You can consider vaccinations for Hepatitis A and B.

It is always a good idea to make sure your Tetanus shot is up to date.

It is good to check various government travel health websites like Health Canada, WHO and the American CDC, then discuss with your doctor.

Be warned, many doctors glance at the list of diseases and will urge you to get shots for things that exist in China, but not in the places you are going to be. It is good to ask them to explain their recommendations.

many thanks for your advice

See traveldoctor.com.au - We%26#39;re having hep A as the bare minimum then have to decide if to have tetanus etc which are well past booster date which you should have anyway in your own country.
