※ Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A shows a high occurrence in people in their 20~30s. The symptoms are similar to a simple cold, but this is a dangerous disease that may harm our liver without us suspecting it. It is highly recommended that those who do not have antibodies for Hepatitis A receive the anti-hepatitis vaccination.
Hepatitis A spreads directly from person to person or by water polluted by excrements, and indirectly through food. Sharing food even during the latent period may transmit the virus. The disease can be prevented through improvements in environment and hygiene with suitable precautions.

※ Vaccination fees for Hepatitis A: 50,000 KRW/once
※ How to get vaccinated: You must receive a second vaccination shot 6 months~1 year after your first vaccination.
