China
It is recommended that you be vaccinated for Tetanus and Polio, if you haven’t had a booster in the last ten years. Food and waterborne diseases are more common, so we recommend vaccinations for Typhoid (valid 3 years) and Hepatitis A (validity varies). There is a malarial risk in remote southern areas of China, so do check the current situation when visiting your health care professional. Only some hotels (usually luxury 5 star hotels) provide drinkable tap water, so do ask your guide or the hotel front desk if the water at your hotel is safe to drink. Boiled water is sometimes provided in hotel rooms. Alternatively, purchase bottled mineral water, for drinking and performing ablutions. Finally, have an aspirin prior to your flight. This may help ward of DVT. |
