Vaccinations:  Medical care in Hong Kong is of international standard and health and hygiene standard are very high.   At present the Hong Kong Government requires no vaccinations, but one should be aware that Cholera, Dengue Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Influenza, Malaria and Typhoid are prevalent throughout Asia.  There are very occasionally a few cases of Japanese Encephalitis in Hong Kong as well.   It would be wise to consult your doctor as to whether you should be inoculated against Hepatitis A and B, Influenza, Typhoid and Japanese Encephalitis (has adverse side effects).  Those against Polio, Rabies and Tetanus-Diphtheria are recommended by many doctors and health officials, regardless of where you live.

Note:  Although the scares as to the quality of various fresh and processed foods from occur more frequently than one would want China -- an unfortunate consequence of relying on a rapidly expanding developing nation for much of our food supply -- any concern is quickly dealt with by Hong Kong and Chinese authorities. This issue should not influence your decision on whether or not to relocate.
