What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to West Papua formerly Irian Jaya?

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 West Papua formerly Irian Jaya?

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 met some beautiful people at Pall Mall Medical, eager to help you and provide you with information. Great team"

Tina,Manchester, 30.01.2018

" I had a breast reduction at Pall Mall Cosmetics at Newton-Le-Willows on 1st of June. From my initial consultation at Liverpool with Mr Krishnan right through to my final after care appointment the care I received was excellent from the whole team . Helen was always on hand with any questions before the procedure. Maxine who I had my pre-op with and who cared for me on the day along with Sarah both were amazing.. sharing tears of joy, a lot of laughter with myself and my daughter and husband. Maxine and Sarah I cannot thank you enough for making what was a big thing for me to do in my life into a day I will remember with a smile. Last but not least Mr. Krishnan for making me a very happy lady I thank you so much you have given me my life back . Highly recommend Pall Mall, you are all fab !!!!!! 10/10"

" 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."

S.Cowton-Williams, July 2014

" My experience was wonderful with fantastic results!!! It's now 2 months after my facelift. I was very nervous at the thought of having a facelift however was put at ease by Mr Gawad and was able to speak to him directly at any time. He was realistically informative, friendly and left me totally at ease. When I arrived for surgery on the day the staff were very friendly, while professional and thorough. It was a first class service. After surgery went well ... Mr Gawad brought a mirror and was very pleased with what I saw. There was very little pain ... nothing that required more than a few painkillers afterwards. My face was tight and NO bruising!!! No hiding away other than the first week where the swelling needed time to settle. The scarring was so minimal ... and after only 2 months these hairline scars are hardly visible. Yet the horrible jowel I had around my mouth has gone ... my face lifted which makes my lower eyes less saggy somehow. I expected to have stiches that needed to be removed, however this wasn't the case as the stitches were disolvable an just fell out after during the secon an third week. I only had to return to see Mr Gawad post surgery again to let him see my face. All the people who know me say I look extremely well and have enjoyed many comments on how good I'm looking for my age. Everything is perfect and find myself with a new confidence. Other small pluses (the main is the fantastic surgery of course with a very personable an friendly warm surgeon) was that the place was easy to get to. From what I thought was going to be a very scary experience to achieve the results I wanted actually turned into a very pleasurable experience and my face looks better than when I was in my 20s for contouring. My skin looks well and my face looks very natural. I can only thank Mr Gawad for everything and am so pleased I found him. However I did do the research and did see that he has all the highest qualifications with many years of experience. Thank you again Mr Gawad!!"
