An hour from Shanghai by train, Hangzhou is West Lake and the Longjing tea villages in the hills behind it. The tea terraces are countryside rather than city, even if they are close by.
Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, MMR and typhoid are the baseline. Rabies is worth raising if you are walking in the hills or the villages, and Japanese encephalitis for a stay of a month or more rather than a long weekend. A doctor can advise on which of these you need, based on where you are going and how long you are staying.
At Singapore Women's Clinic, we provide a range of travel vaccinations, preventive medication and travel health advice for solo travellers and families alike.

Checking Your Immunity Before Vaccination
If you were vaccinated as a child, or you think you have had the illness before, a blood test can check whether you are still protected before you book a vaccine. We can test immunity to hepatitis A, hepatitis B and measles. Where a result shows you are protected, the dose may not be needed. Results take a few days, so allow for that when you plan your appointments.

Vaccination Certificate Requirements for Entry and Re-Entry
Whether you need a certificate depends on the countries you pass through or come from. Before you travel, check your full route against the current list of countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission published by Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority.
Entering China
No certificate is needed if you arrive directly from Singapore, or from any country without yellow fever risk.
- It is required from age 9 months if you arrive from a country with risk, including airport transits of more than 12 hours there.
- Exempt if your itinerary is limited to Hong Kong SAR or Macao SAR.
Returning to Singapore
Singapore requires a yellow fever certificate if you have recently travelled to a country with yellow fever risk. It follows your route, not your destination, so it can apply even when the country you are visiting has no risk.
- Applies to all travellers, including Singapore residents, of any nationality.
- Includes airport transits of more than 12 hours in an affected country.
- Valid from 10 days after vaccination, then for life.
- Without a valid certificate you may be quarantined for six days under the Infectious Diseases Act, counted from the date you left the affected country.
- Exempt: Children aged one year and below; Travellers with a medical contraindication to the vaccine.
