Time to prepare. Now is the time for you to start your vaccinations, paying special attention to Hepatitis A & B. Also, please ensure that you are
up-to-date with tetanus, typhoid, maybe a polio booster and perhaps the same for diphtheria and whooping cough. Cholera in China is quite rare. Malaria is
confined to some of the more remote areas in southern China.At law, any person being granted temporary residency in the PRC is required to undergo a full medical
examination. If time is short due to the urgent need for staff the employer may approve for you to undertake you medical examination, including pathology, ECG and x-rays in
China at a hospital nominated at their expense. Otherwise, you must complete the medical requirements before departure. |

or recruitment agencies and will not give you a huge range to choose from. |
