What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Korea North?

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 Korea North?

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

" Five star treatment from start to finish. "

S.Rubotham, April 2014

" I have a big thank you to say about Pall Mall Medical, having gone for a company required MRI body scan they identified a possible heart problem and a possible prostate problem and suggested further consultations should be made to Specialist consultants. These revealed a negative with my heart but a positive with my Prostate. This result has lead to a very early detection of prostate cancer which is being removed in the next few day with a 95% survival rate given to me. I cant thank you enough for the expertise in spotting the markers and having the service available for me to use. I will be attending many more MRI scans in the future thanks to you guys keep up the great service."
