    I am not qualified to give medical advice, but I think it is a good idea to be sure that your tetanus-diphtheria and measles immunizations are up to date. There is also good reason to get a hepatitus A vaccination.

    Centers for Disease Control -- East Asia recommendations -- excellent resource, please note the warnings on injuries. Traffic is the greatest hazard to your health.

    World Health Organization -- China This site provides a macro picture of disease threats in China. You may find it interesting to compare disease patterns in China with those in the US and elsewhere.
