lynnrts Posted May 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Did any of you need any special shots before the China cruise? My doctor said she didn't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirtom Posted May 17, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2004 astasi, who required you to get a tetanus shot. The only requirement we had was that we needed a visa to enter China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoshona2 Posted May 24, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi, This will be our third trip to Asia and the CDC recommends a Hep A innoculation as well as tetanus which should be updated every ten years. Every child in the USA has to be innoculated against Hep A before attending kindergarten. This disease is spread by food handlers who don't wash their hand. Remember not to drink anything with ice cubes and bring plenty of wipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
