Vaccines

Can I finish an HPV vaccine series started abroad? HPV vaccine in Seoul, Korea

The short answer

Yes, usually. Bring your vaccination record showing the brand and dates. If you started with Gardasil 9, we continue with it. If your earlier doses were a different brand, your doctor will advise how to complete protection, often finishing with Gardasil 9. There is no need to restart.

Bring

  • Vaccination card or record (brand, dose dates)
  • A translation if not in English or Korean

Mixed-brand series are handled case by case. We can give you an English record to take home. See HPV vaccine schedule for foreigners.
