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

" WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I was very self-conscious before I took my first visit to Pall Mall medical (Newton Le Willows). Before I had my surgery I suffered gynecomastia. I would sometimes have panic attacks in public places, my self-esteem was very low, I would hide away from social interactions, I was in a very bad place psychologically and could see no way out. My first encounter was with Helen Stuart the Cosmetic Patient Coordinator. Helen guided me through the whole process and made the full journey feel effortless and strangely enjoyable. Helen is very down to earth and friendly as well as professional and offers a lot of advice and experience and will always go that extra mile to help you when needed. The team in theatre were fantastic we really got on. They asked me my favourite music whilst setting up shop and before you know it there's music playing and were all having a real genuine chat about allsorts whilst Mr Prasad the surgeon shows of his precision and skill. After surgery you get your own room with everything you need inside and food and refreshments brought to you. It was that chilled out I even had a little kip! The whole service was more than I could have expected and the after care is exactly the same. Thank you Pall Mall medical for all your services. Money well spent! Now I can move forward in my life and be me again!"

" "I was exceedingly happy with the results of the surgery" "I underwent a breast reduction with Dr. Ahmed Abd El Gawad on the 15th of Feb 2017. My consultation with Dr. Ahmed Abd El Gawad was second to none. I went ahead with my breast reduction surgery in full confidence of the excellent care I would receive. The staff at Pall Mall Medical were friendly and approachable. I was exceedingly happy with the results of the surgery. I had excellent pre and post care and very pleased with my overall results. I would highly recommend Dr. El Gawad and his team.""
