Travel Vaccinations for South Korea

The table below provides a general guide as to the Travel Vaccinations that may be advised to you for travel to South Korea

You can read all the travel guides you want before your visit to South Korea, and study as much background as you have time for, but nothing can prepare you for the sheer size and sprawl of Seoul, a mega-city of over 10 million. Where to begin?

Maybe with the past…South Korea’s rich cultural heritage shines in its ancient Buddhist Temples, Palaces and Pagodas –(One of the loveliest Palaces is Changdeokgung, originally built in 1405, the home of Joseon Dynasty kings for 270 years, and featuring the exquisite natural gardens of “Huwon”, the only rear garden of any Korean palace.) Or perhaps enjoy a stroll through Dongdaemun all-night market, where you can immerse yourself in Korea’s best musical theatre and performing arts. While in the area, don’t forget to visit Iwha Art Village and Naksan park. Or, head to City centre and a leisurely walk along Deoksugung’s Stone Wall path, and for a little more excitement, try University Quarter for nightlife and very affordable restaurants of every kind.

Once you come up for air and start planning tours outside the city, you’ll find a country side of amazing contrasts. Be astounded by the beauty of Korea’s National Parks… (there are 20)… visit Jeju Island and discover Korea’s tropical side, or relax at the resort town of Danyang nestled in the mountains. Whether you have a few days or a few weeks in South Korea, you’ll find that budgeting your time is a must! And, while you are planning your Korean vacation, it’s essential that you factor in that most important visit to our Travel Health Clinic, no less than 3 weeks prior to departure to update your vaccinations. Please call us for an appointment.

Advice for Travellers to all Destinations

The Vaccinations and Medications that are needed for travel vary from person-to-person.

All Travellers

All Travellers should ensure that they are up-to-date with Routine Vaccinations including Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio and Measles, Mumps and Rubella.

Most Travellers

Most travellers will also need to consider a course or booster of Hepatitis A and Typhoid as there is a risk of these diseases across most parts of the world.

Some Travellers

Some Travellers may also be advised additional vaccinations such as Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis and Hepatitis B based on their individual risk assessment.

Incredible service – so helpful
Excellent service! Chazile went above and beyond to prepare me for my travels to south east Asia. Very kind, sharp and added helpful bits of information that will be useful during my travels. Even created a vaccine booklet for me that I asked for to keep track of my vaccines for the future. Highly recommended The London Vaccination Clinic. Thanks again Chazile 🙂 Nick

Travel vacines

Attended a consultation for travel vacines, the nurse explained everything with care, provided good advice. We then add a follow up consultation with a different nurse for the vaccines and was also very kind and professional. Was very impressed, we did not feel pressured to have more vacines then reasonable and both nurses gave pricing information upfront.

Very positive experience

Really easy to book and the nurse who I saw in Liverpool Street was really kind and helpful. She went through my vaccination history, what I needed for my trip and explained everything I needed to know ahead of administrating the vaccine I needed.
I am glad I arrived early as the venue was tricky to find as the name of the building has changed so doesn’t match Google maps. Put me in a slight panic as I thought I was going to miss my appointment but I found it in the end!

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside…

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside and out. I have a fear of needles and she was so patient and reassuring from beginning to end. She asked me questions, helped me to relax and made me feel like an individual rather than just someone on the list for the day.
