Health Information
Innoculations are advisable if visiting
China and your doctor can advise you which are necessary
according to which regions you are visiting. Typhoid,
hepatitis A, tetanus boosters and malaria if venturing
away from cities are the most common innoculations
required. Rabies and hepatitis B are sometimes advised.
The risk of encountering avian flu can be minimised
by avoiding areas of dense fowl population, such as
wildfowl reserves, poultry farms etc. The Foreign
Office provides detailed advice.
Whilst our consultants can offer general
advice, they regularly refer to the Foreign Office
and World Health Organisation web sites for the latest
information and we advise clients to do likewise if
in any doubt, or if you have any major health concerns.
