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

" "Customer service from Emma was good. Comfortable setting which was convenient." Clinician: Emma Exley (Phlebotomist) Location: Manchester"

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, 09/01/2017

" "After seeing the consultant who explained in detail what the procedure and follow up would entail, I had an unsightly mole removed from the side of my face. The appointment was made at my convenience and was quick and painless. I was very happy with all aspects of my care at Pall Mall medical centre and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.""

" I have just visited the Pall Mall medical hospital and I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness during a very nerve wracking procedure. The staff honestly could not have done enough for me and made me feel like I was at home from the start. The anaesthetic team were also so lovely I cannot recommend this hospital enough. The food was delicious and I was lucky enough to be discharged within a few hours! The rooms are very private, clean and cosy. This is not a complaint in any way but one of my bathroom tiles had a slight stain to it but that is literally the onky fault I could find!! Bev and Amanda thank you so much xxx sophie "

" "I am really pleased" "I am extremely happy with results from my breast augmentation. After several consultations with Dr. A EL Gawad, he made me feel at ease and more than confident in the size that I had chose. He was really helpful and realistic during this time. He's always on hand to answer any queries personally. The day of surgery for me was very daunting but all the staff at Pall Mall & Mr. EL Gawd himself really looked after me. The anesthetist was brilliant. This is something i would now recommend to anyone feeling the way I felt for so many years. Mr. EL Gawad is fabulous at what he does, they are perfect in size for me, he really cared and wanted me to be sure in the process I was about to go through. The aftercare, the appointments following seeing the results I am really pleased. Pall Mall Newton le Willows was a great place to have my surgery. The anesthetist was brilliant, the nurses very caring and on hand checking every 15 mins after my op. Would definitely recommend.""
