If the result of the measles antibody test is negative, please get one additional vaccination and submit the vaccination certificate.

 

Q [Health Management Office]-[Submission of health examination documents] Only the second round of measles vaccinations is confirmed. Do I need to be vaccinated one more time?
A

Since the system operated by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency was activated in the 2000s, previous vaccination history may not have been registered.

Please submit the vaccination certificate.

Q [Health Management Office]- [tuberculosis epidemiological investigation] What are the symptoms of tuberculosis?
A

 Symptoms of tuberculosis are diverse. They include cough, sputum, low fever, and lack of energy, and in some cases, tuberculosis is asymptomatic and found by chance in a medical examination.

Since cough, the most common symptom of tuberculosis, is also observed in colds, asthma, and bronchitis, it is difficult to distinguish tuberculosis from these diseases based on symptoms alone. Therefore, if cough or sputum persists for more than 2 weeks without any particular cause, you may want to receive medical treatment.

People who have been close to a tuberculosis patient are recommended to regularly get contact examinations even if they do not have any symptoms.
