As we approach the Chinese New Year break some of you will be going on vacation. Many of you will be visiting tropical destinations in Southeast Asia, or travelling to remote parts of China, which require certain travel vaccinations prior to making the trip.

One World Cover have put together a simple guideline to what vaccinations are required for popular holiday destinations in the region – including information on which hospitals and clinics in Shanghai and Beijing stock which vaccinations.

Please see the link here: Travel Vaccinations Guide

You might be surprised to hear in China that medication for or vaccinations against diseases such as yellow fever, cholera and malaria are only available at specific “travel healthcare centers” and that there is only one such center in both Shanghai and Beijing. Contact details for popular “expat” (or private) clinics and hospitals and the Shanghai and Beijing Travel Healthcare Center are included in the guide.

Please note that the information provided is intended as a general reference or guideline to assist with your planning prior to taking a trip. You should consult your Doctor prior to travel to see if you need a specific vaccination. There is often conflicting advice on what vaccinations are required for specific countries or areas within a country.

Wishing you all safe and happy travels…
