What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Uganda?

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 Uganda?

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).

" "I would defiantly recommend to anyone" "Following 3 complicated pregnancies resulting in emergency c sections, i was left with a rather large and unsightly overhang as well as a poorly positioned and raised scar. I made the choice to act on it and came across mr gawad online. From the moment i met him in manchester i knew he was the right person for the job. He advised me i would require a full tummy tuck and muscle repair as well as liposuction to improve my contour. I trusted his judgement. He is so approachable and caring, he put me at rest immediately and that was true also yesterday when i had my procedure. Only 1 day post op and the results are astounding. I feel great in myself too with minimal tenderness due to the liposuction. I genuinely can't praise this man enough and would defiantly recommend to anyone." "

" "At the age of 49 I was fed up with what I can only describe as extra skin and tissue that hung from my stomach toward the top of my thighs. This was not about looking thinner it was about getting rid of the bulge that showed through my clothing. No gym class or diet was ever going to sort this out. I had an abdominoplasty to sort out this problem. Dr El Gawad was very helpful and very honest about what needed to be done. I felt very comfortable dealing with him and was amazed that Mr EL Gawad contacted me directly. The staff were professional and caring and the anaesthetist was extremely well qualified, very confident and knowledgeable. Mr El Gawad and all the staff were lovely. I would have no problem recommending Mr EL Gawad and the clinic.""

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, 17/02/2017

" Had a blood test though Pall Mall which took 18 hours to report back to me (Thanks to Rachel Harrison and Christina for quick reporting and help with my bloods). The results were a little elevated in regard to my prostate. I decided to have a MP- MRI of my prostate which is new technology being used and not available nationwide on the NHS. I spoke with Amanda Webster in the imaging department who made an appointment for me to have the scan within a few days and the results were to be reported 3-5 days later. On the day of the scan I was met by a gent called Steve who performed the scan and he immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. Obviously after the scan waiting for the results is a very anxious and worrying time. Amanda who had booked the scan in the first instance kept in touch with me and answered all of my questions immediately during this anxious time. Amanda acted in such a professional and caring way and I will always remember how she helped me though a week filled with worry. I have had my results today and I am obviously delighted with them. DR Tudor talked them through with me at length and assured me. Overall I cannot rate Pall Mall Medical high enough and I hope the management realise what assets Amanda, Steve and Dr Tudor are to the company."
