What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Sierra Leone?

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 Sierra Leone?

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

" The team at Pall Mall Cosmetics are dedicated, caring and have a clear vision that the patients and their needs are their no 1 priority. The care and attention I received before, during and after surgery from all staff was second to none. The surgical team are very highly experienced and left me in no doubt that I would be happy with the outcome of my procedures. Communication with Sara, the patient coordinator was excellent. She couldnt have helped me more keeping me up to date and always there to answer my queries. Her warm understanding and knowledgeable approach erased all apprehension I may have felt before surgery and as I was having two procedures at the same time it was particularly difficult to coordinate but Sara managed it effortlessly. The pall Mall team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much."

Susan Meredith, Pall Mall Cosmetics

" First of all I would like to say that you (Jemma-sales consultant) as my contact person at Pall Mall have provided excellent customer service.The way you took responsibility for making sure that I get the appointment with the right doctor and then for making sure that all paperwork and information is available to the doctor and kept me updated all the time, was excellent. I also want to thank you for arranging to get medical records from my usual GP which was not an easy task. If there was a star rating I would give you 5 out of 5 stars."
