China Travel Vaccinations and Health Advice
China's size means your itinerary decides the health advice
China spans tropical forests, high altitude plateaus, crowded cities and rural farming regions. The health advice for a business trip to Shanghai is very different from trekking in Yunnan or rural stays near the Mekong.

City travel, rural stays and altitude all carry different risks
Short business trips to Beijing or Shanghai involve relatively low infectious disease risk. Rural travel, especially in southern or western provinces, raises questions about Japanese encephalitis, malaria in some border areas, and altitude sickness in Tibet or Qinghai.
