What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Nigeria?

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 Nigeria?

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 attended Pall Mall Medical for follow up vitamin infusions following stem cell treatment for Lyme Disease in May in Germany. It was initially very difficult to find a private clinic in the UK willing to work with and administer the infusion protocol devised by the clinic in Germany and which I brought back to the UK with me. However from the initial contact with Pall Mall Medical their complete open mindedness and Tim's extensive experience in infusions and interest in the treatment made for an easy process and very refreshing. Add into that the lovely Maxine who administered the infusions with help from Amanda who assisted with making 'makeshift' bottle drips to all in all make a smooth and simple process. I heartily recommend this clinic. "

" "Breast reduction, breast lift, and liposuction. I was uncomfortable with my 34g breasts and did research into clinics. I found Pall Mall (Ahmed El Gawad) the best decision I've ever made. I'm day two post operation and the results are looking amazing, reduced to a c/d cup. The whole journey was pleasant from consultation with the surgeon to now. Felt very personal as he was available throughout to answer questions and any concerns. He is amazing and goes far beyond his duties as a surgeon. Amazing staff team. I would highly recommend. Pall Mall Newton le willows. I went to the consultation to a couple of other clinics and Pall Mall made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in. The consultation was with the surgeon which stood out from the rest as made it feel much more personal. Very thorough discussing the outcome I wanted to achieve. Was happy from then on to let Mr. EL Gawad do the surgery and he had fantastic reviews. All communication with the clinic was excellent with prompt replies to emails and calls. Can not recommend this clinic enough. Friendly care team overall fabulous!!!!""

" Due to a 'last minute' work assignment to the Middle East, I visited the Manchester clinic in need of inoculations (my own GP couldn't fit me in for another 3 weeks). The clinic is immaculate, the staff courteous & the Doctor was superb. Overall I left extremely impressed and have since recommended to my colleagues. I really did not think a clinic of this stature existed outside of London, full credit to all involved."

" Fantastic place. Had blood tests with a very experienced nurse Noreen. She was very helpful, patient and most importantly pain-free. Got my results very quick by email just as requested. She answered all my questions in a professional manner. I would highly recommend."
