Are there any recommended vaccinations for children and adults to have before coming to HK/China from the US?

TB

not done in the US but definitely recommended here.

I was recommended to take the Hepatitis A & B shots before I left my home country. Even my GP here told me that there are many Hep. B carriers here.

HK has two Port Health clinics, which do provide immunizations for travellers. Here's the website if you are interested:-

Pretty quesy with even memory of all the shots, (not from US) but was recommended Hep A and B, errrrr which took either two or three shots with some months inbetween each shot before you had full immunity. Had bloodlevels checked for TB and Chicken Pox to see if the childhood shots still had strength. Tetanus booster and maybe something else...? Had quite a few in a row so I think I got a bit sick, not sure if that was the reason, perhaps it is good to get them done early for children? push those things out!!! xxx
