What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Korea North?

While it isn't a requirement to pass border control and customs when you enter the country, given the presence of the particular disease in the country, you may want to protect yourself from the risk of contracting an illness while you visit. Being protected is better than becoming ill while abroad.

Also depending upon your plans for your destination and your accommodation plans, you may benefit from a vaccination as a preventative measure.

For example, if you intend to visit local farms, isolated sections, intend to stay outside of a hotel environment, you may benefit from the protection of a vaccination as your risk of contracting certain diseases and illnesses increases.

What does 'sometimes recommended' mean for travelling to Korea North?

If you have travelled from an area where a particular vaccination was required, you may require that vaccination for your next destination also (eg, Yellow Fever when travelling from a previous Yellow Fever area).

What our patients say

" I would highly recommend Dr Tudor, a true gentleman who is understanding and makes you feel at home in his presence "

nichola, 17 October

" We visited Dr Nawaz for a number of issues concerning our 8 month old baby girl. Dr Nawaz was very welcoming and gave us more than enough time to explain our concerns and questions. He addressed every issue in turn providing a complete and thorough explanation and diagnosis and immediately made us feel reassured and clear in our minds of the next steps. Our concerns included dermatological issues as well as physical development abnormalities. We left with both prescriptions to treat the dermatogogical problems (which improved in a matter of days), and a clear plan to address the developmental issues including referral to the necessary specialist. Given we are first time parents we were naturally very eager to make sure our daughter was seen as quickly as possible. Dr Nawaz was kind enough to fast track his notes and referral letter to our GP and the consultant specialist. Within a few weeks of seeing Dr Nawaz we had visited all the necessary specialists and gone through the relevant tests and diagnostics. In the meantime Dr Nawaz was kind enough to check in with us via email asking how we were getting on. There was no need for him to do this but it goes to show the level of care he has for his patients. We were delighted with the level of care and professionalism shown by Dr Nawaz and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any parents."

" 5 stars! What an amazing place! The staff are so friendly, taking care of me the whole day and answering all the question I had. The rooms are so clean, and the bed is unbelievably comfy. The food they make is delicious, I might come back for another meal next week ???? I was terrified of the surgery, but they calmed me down and reassured me, rightfully so as the pain was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be! Bev and Danielle were great before and after the opp, so were the anaesthetic guys and of course Dr. Prasad. "
