What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Lesotho?

While it isn't a requirement to pass border control and customs when you enter the country, given the presence of the particular disease in the country, you may want to protect yourself from the risk of contracting an illness while you visit. Being protected is better than becoming ill while abroad.

Also depending upon your plans for your destination and your accommodation plans, you may benefit from a vaccination as a preventative measure.

For example, if you intend to visit local farms, isolated sections, intend to stay outside of a hotel environment, you may benefit from the protection of a vaccination as your risk of contracting certain diseases and illnesses increases.

What does 'sometimes recommended' mean for travelling to Lesotho?

If you have travelled from an area where a particular vaccination was required, you may require that vaccination for your next destination also (eg, Yellow Fever when travelling from a previous Yellow Fever area).

What our patients say

" I was very happy with the treatment I received at pall mall,Mr Clayton was very good at diagnosing my problem.Thankyou."

n/a, 23/09/2016

" I have recently undergone CT scans of my heart and lungs at Pall Mall Medical. As an ex smoker I was convinced I would have the heart and lungs of a ninety year old (I am fifty six) or some other horrific condition. Imagine my delight and relief when the results showed the two organs are extremely healthy. The procedure was quick, painless and comfortable. If, like me, you've been worrying about the harm smoking might have caused you, then I'd strongly recommend screening. "

" I came to dr dixit with worries about my 6 month old daughters head after being told her soft spot was closed. He was very understanding and explained everything thoroughly. He was kind and covered everything I wanted him to and more. A very helpful and caring doctor 10/10!"

Carer at Pall Mall Medical, 01/12/2016

" I recently underwent a pre-employment medical at Pall Mall Medical Centre in Liverpool. The clinician in residence was Dr GaryTudor. The whole process was conducted in the most professional manner, and Dr Tudor's approach to the whole examination was serious, yet relaxing. In my opinion, Dr Tudor, a traditional, old fashioned doctor, was exceptional, and his approach to patient welfare and handling patient concerns, was and is second to none. I highly recommend his practice to any potential client, in the knowledge that the care and expertise the centre provides is professional, thorough, and client-centred."
