What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Philippines?

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 Philippines?

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

" I came to this clinic recently for a number of appointments. Firstly to see a GP - Dr McCulloch, who was amazing! What a lovely doctor. Ron referred me to have some blood tests done and once the results came back on the same day (wow!) I was advised to see a specialist - Mr Maiti, who again was amazing. Mr Maiti did a more thorough examination, including an ultrasound scan (on the same day as the appointment) and reassured me that everything was ok To be honest all I wanted was peace of mind as when the blood results came back high i was scared. I was told these bloods being high is completely normal and nothing to worry about as the scan confirmed I was ok Each appointment was booked promptly and efficiently. Pricing was reasonable and customer service was excellent (I think Sam and Sara?). I was seen by 3 people within the same week. amazing. It would have taken weeks if not months on the NHS I have not been private before but my brother convinced me after I was so worried. I am so pleased Would recommend Pall Mall and Dr Ron and Mr Maiti to everyone!"

" I had a breast augmentation today with mr Prasad I am over the moon with my results....i was looked after by Bev and Steph pre and post op on the ward at Newton-Le-Willows along with recovery nurse and anaesthetist team (sorry don't remember names) and must say as a registered nurse myself with experience in private cosmetic surgical care i was very impressed by the professionalism and the impressive quality of fantastic bedside manor shown by all staff making me feel so comfortable and at ease. Nothing too much trouble....my experience was so good that I would love to be part of that team myself...so much so I will be applying for a night nurse position....please wish me luck x"

" At the pre-op, the lady I saw was very helpful and lovely. She made me feel at ease. Was really grateful for the advice she gave to get a good sports bra."

" I found all the staff at Pall Mall Medical kind, helpful and courteous. I was always offered a drink on arrival to the clinic (the reception staff could not have been nicer). The procedure was explained well and I felt very relaxed during the operation itself. Mr Raghavan and the nursing staff made me feel cared for and that I was in very good hands. Could not be more pleased with the results and my experience at the clinic."
