Hi,
I Am living in Korea. I am travelling to Thailand for two weeks on January 19th 2013. Before coming to Korea I got vaccinations from my local doctor at home in January 2012. The injections I received were Viatim (Hepatitis A and Typhoid) and Revaxis (Tetanus). I am wondering if it is necessary for me to get Hepatitis B vaccination before I go. As far as I am aware you only need this if you are travelling to certain parts of Thailand. I would like to have it before I go and am wondering if there is any way I can receive the series of vaccinations before 19th of January. If this is not possible what parts of Thailand should I avoid travelling to? Also I visited the doctor in my town in Korea. His English is not great so I am having trouble finding the answers to these questions. He said I should have another Hepatitis A shot before I go to Thailand and that all Hep A vaccinations require a booster. I am confused as my doctor back home said that I was covered for ten years. Is there any harm in getting another Hep A booster before I travel?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Ruth

Yes, I would advise having a booster shot; I think your doctor was erroneous in saying you were covered for ten years. Having a booster shot is considered, on top of the original, a full dose of vaccine.
