Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination for Northern Viet Nam?
I plan to spend a week in and around Hanoi and Halong Bay in late January. One of my traveling friends has strongly suggested getting vaccinated against Japanese Encephalitis before the trip. It's costly, and I'm not sure if it's justified.
A non-optional evaluation at the travel medicine clinic would cost $50, followed by 2 shots of vaccine at $250 each.
What would FTers advise?
