Health Advisories

Forum rules
When posting, especially when starting a new thread, please use a title that explains your post or thread, e.g. don't put "Help please!" when you could put "Where can I find a camp site near Kending?"

Please check your spelling, because someone may do a text search for your information, e.g. if someone searches for information on Xizhi and you have spelled it She Jher, they won't find it. Someone spelled camping as "campin" without a g at the end - again, it can't be found by a text search. For place names in Taiwan, please try to use Hanyu Pinyin as default, as that is the spelling most people know.

Please place links in your posts to sources of information. If you don't know how to hotlink text, click on the BBCode tips link in my signature to find out.

If you find a thread that is so hopelessly out of date that it couldn't be of use to anyone, please send the moderator a private message (with the URL of the thread)

If you spot two or more threads that you think could be merged, again, alert the moderator

Health Advisories

I will be travelling, for the first time, from the USA. The United State Center for Disease Control mentions a number of "possible" risks like Hepatitus A, Hep B, Japanese encephalitus, but nothing mandatory. Is anyone aware of anything different?

I'm going to Taiwan in 2 weeks and have opted to get the hep A and a tetanus injection on monday.
I opted out of hep B and jap E injections.
What did others do? I'm from the UK btw and going for 10 days.
