I'm going to live in China this coming August and I have only just now realised that I'm going to need some injections. Well, I guess I'll need some.

Anyone have any idea how I go about finding out what injections I need?

I'll be living in Shenzhen, Guangdong, which is were both SARS and Bird Flu originated... I think. So I'm guessing my arm will feel like the bible in braile once I'm done. Ahh well, at least heroin addicts will give me da raspect, in'it?

Also, what about insurance? I know there is that form I can get E11(?) but doesn't that only apply to Europe? My employer provides basic health insurance, but this is China and I really want to cover my ass over there.

Merci :)
 
I'm pretty sure you can just go to the docs and ask about immunisations, they may charge you for some though. (Infact they may charge you for all of them, went I went to Peru in 2003 I was only 16 so I think I got afew of them free).
 
Correct. Your usual GP has access to the required information on vaccination. I would advise going as soon as you can as some vaccinations need to be taken well before travelling.
