Hello, I am a traveller from USA, and will had a trip heading Korea for 2 weeks. At the same time, I am planning to visit Brazil in the second half of this year. As you may know, yellow fever vaccine is usually required to visit Brazil, and it is very expensive in USA, estimated at more than 200 USD. In this case, I am planning to take the yellow fever vaccine in ICN airport.

It seems that there is Inchon Airport Quarantine office working on this, see this page: http://www.cyberairport.kr/contents/eng/departure/guide/information/quarantine/1750_index.jsp

It mentioned, Yellow fever vaccine is only offered on Mondays and Thursdays in the ICN office, and the total cost is around $24 - $25 in USD dollar. Travelers must make reservation one day before the arrival.

Anyone tried this? or confirm this? In my case, will they offer me the yellow fever vaccine? because I am a foreigner and traveler. And I do not know the price is correct, or just for Korean resident only? It may be more expensive for foreign travelers?
