travel to hk, vaccine/shots?

i plan on visiting hk soon. i went to the doctor today to get a checkup, and i asked him about getting the necessary shots to go to asia. he said that i didn't need any more, since i already got them when i also visited hk last year. he said its good for up to 10yrs. . . is this true??? from the ppl that i talked to, they get shots 1x a yr when they travel. i guess this question is more aimed towards the bros that visit hk frequently, do you guys get shots every yr, or no?

depends what vaccine you're talking about. flu vaccine is needed yearly, for example, while the other vaccines may last for years.

in that case, if its not flu shots, what shots are you asking your doctor for? when your doctor said good for 10 years, what particular vaccine was he referring to?

Still depends on what shots...and where you are travelling to.

If you're heading to Africa, of course you're gonna need more shots than if you come to Hong Kong! COreect me if I'm wrong, but I think jabs for things like polio and mumps last for many years, even the 10 years your doctor said.

Unless you're visiting Doctor Nick from the Simpsons, I would take his word for it.

Even when I was in the UK, coming back to hk at least once a year, I don't get shots every year.

for hepatitis, generally recommended booster shot is every 5 years, although some doctors say its good for 10 years.

do you guys get shots every yr  ...

Absolutely yes.  

Vital preventive shots are a firm requirement, including:-
  tequila
  vodka
  rum
  brandy

Can also be taken in 'cocktails' that are mixed for greater effect.

TwinRx is highly recommended to protect against Hep A & B (B is common in Hong kong)

I am now living in HK but I used to travel to HK 4 times a year from the US and never needed any shots. I did get the Hep B 3 required doses while I was here and the doctor here said to come back in 5 years for a booster shot

the only remedy for that is for us to provide the (cum)shot . . .
