What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Senegal?

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 Senegal?

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).

" Would most definitely recommend this hospital, the staff are superb and very friendly, a special thanks to Helen for getting everything sorted before the operation, Trish who I was it contact with nearly everyday, she really put herself out for me and booked herself in for my operation just to make sure I was ok because of the issues I had prior to the op and Maxine was very friendly always answered any questions I had, I few times I had to speak to Maxine out of hours, she answered the phone whatever time it was to give me advice I needed. Also Mr Prasad I couldn't fault him in anyway, he was really nice to speak to and helpful and has done a really good job with the surgery. Overall a massive thank you to all the team that looked after me it's very much appreciated Claire O'Donnell"

" Absolutly treated like a princess, had breast enlargement last year going from 32a to 32dd i now have the breasts that are beyond amazing so I went back on the 14th of January 2017 and had a full abdomniplasty considering the horrors I've seen on you tube I'd personally like to reassure those that are considering any cosmetic surgery that both my surgerys were not traumatic I was up and about 2 hours after abdomniplasty and having lunch and i was pottering about at home up and fully dressed although not doing housework I have lots of children that needed me and I was still able to see to them. Mr Prasad did both my surgerys and my nurses were Bev and Amanda they made sure I wanted for nothing and treated me like a princess that theatre staff are amazing the best I've ever met ( I can say that as I worked in a hospital) I was contacted regularly once I came home ( to make sure I was behaving and not pulling petrol mower out ) and you know what best thing I ever did. stay off u tube and would I do it again yes yes yes :) I look a million times better and feel amazing thankyou to all that kept making me smile and giggle "
