Hello everyone! I plan on going to China at the end of the year. I took some shots earlier this year,for my first trip. Does anyone know if I should take anymore shots for this next trip? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Talk to the travel doctor. I think there were only 2 shots I had that needed to be done again, I don't remember what they were but I think they were good for about 1 year.
And yeah. See the travel doctor.

Javagurl... it all depends on what the original shots were that you took for the trip ?! and whether or not they are still valid !!

You should have got the doctor/nurse to complete a Vaccination Record, which is a little booklet which details your vaccinations, when they were done and when they should be updated. You can then carry it with your passport.

To come to China I had:
Hepatitus A & Typhoid (lasts for 3 years)
Diptheria & Tetanus
Hepatitus B (lasts for 3 years)

Personally I HATE injections and try to get away with as few as possible.

There are many websites out there that detail countries and the vaccinations required. If unsure check these out and ask your doctor!!
