Currently there are no required immunizations for traveling to China, but check with your local consulate to make sure this policy has not changed. The most useful vaccinations for China are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus/diphtheria, Japanese encephalitis and typhoid fever.

For up-to-the-minute information on vaccination requirements and disease information, call the International Traveler's Hotline in Atlanta at (404) 332-4559, which is sponsored by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hospitals

Most hospitals in China do not have English-speaking staff on hand, so if you are in need of medical attention, remember your phrase book or bring along a Chinese friend. In Beijing, AEA International Clinic has foreign doctors available 24 hours a day, and stocks over-the-counter and prescription medications. This clinic also has dental service.
