FAQs

Can I get everything in one visit?
Often yes for single-dose vaccines; series (e.g., Hep B, HPV, rabies, JE) require multiple visits. We’ll map exact dates.

Do you do Yellow Fever shots?
Yellow Fever is given only at designated centers in Korea. We’ll refer you and prepare supporting documents.

I’m not sure what I need for my trip—can you advise?
Yes. We’ll review your destinations, timing, and activities and recommend vaccines, malaria prevention, and travel meds where appropriate.

Can you check if I’m already immune?
Yes—titers for MMR/varicella/hep B (± hep A) are available with same-day draws.

Are vaccines safe if I’m pregnant or immunocompromised?
Some are, some are not. We’ll tailor recommendations and defer live vaccines when necessary.
