From Monsters and Critics.com Travel News Neu-Ulm, Germany - Those heading to China for this summer's Olympic Games should ensure they are properly vaccinated beforehand, doctors in Germany advise. 'People who have not already done so should make sure they get their jabs at least four weeks before leaving,' said Dietrich Hueppe in Neu-Ulm who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The risk of diseases in China is not generally high but hepatitis A and B are still widespread. The A type of the disease can be passed on via contaminated foodstuffs and hepatitis B through sexual contact, said Hueppe. © Copyright 2007 by monstersandcritics.com.
