    Hiya..
    Having been all over the world bar China, I've often been told by doctors to get every vaccination and malaria tablets...only to arrive in country and fellow backpackers have not been advised to get them by doctors in their country(EU)..
    I am going on a tour soon for 3 weeks, will be in city and countryside..Do I need any, or which should I get? I sometimes find TMB to be overly cautious..
    Really can't wait to go..dreading the heat though..flying into Beijing and out of HK..Is there usually much rain in July?

    Hi Chickus. I would get vaccinations to stay on the safe side. If you have had these vaccinations within the last three years or so I believe they'd be still effective. There's a particularly nasty breed of mosquitoes this year. There are warning signs about malaria that I've seen in airports and train stations in China.

    July tends to bring the heaviest rainfall in Jiangsu and I imagine you'll encounter some downpours further south also. It hasn't been as hot this year but it is starting to come to the boil now. What other places are you visiting along the way?
