What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Samoa?

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 Samoa?

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

" 5 star service and facility... first class professional service Dr Ahmed El Gawad and the staff at Newton Le Willows... a big thanks to all involved in my treatment.... I never give reviews but felt the need to let everyone know how I was treated like a star by everyone."

" Had breast enlargement there this morning, and it was professional from start to finish. The place it's self is like a tardis, it's massive inside, and spotlessly clean. I had my own en suite room, which had all the facilities you need, and the staff are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. A big thank you also to my surgeon Mr Prasad, they are looking fantastic!! "

" From start to finish the Pall Mall Medical team were fantastic! Helen and Sara were brilliant and answered every question I had in the run up to the operation. On arrival Nurse Bev was lovely and ran through everything with Nurse Steph the other other nurse. She helped explain a lot of things for me and after my op walked me through everything I needed. Carole who was part of the operation team was really good to me, she reassured me and held my hand as I went down. Mr Prasad was really nice and helped with everything. The post op has already been arranged and the discharge papers were very informative. Thank you everyone at Pall Mall Medical!"

" I've wanted a breast augmentation since I was 17 (I am now 32) and last year I finally decided to bite the bullet and treat myself . Today I've come home from Pall Mall Medical in Newton Le-Willows feeling happy and feminine. My experience although short was fantastic. The nurses Bev, Steph and Jane really are a great asset (excuse the pun!) to the company. From the word go they put me at ease as I was really nervous about the anaesthetic and procedure itself . I honestly needn't have worried, I was in great hands. The anaesthetist was brilliant with me and ran through all the anaesthetic procedure. I actually enjoyed the experience of being put under! Even though I'm not yet 24 hours post op I feel so much more confident thanks to Mr Prasad and his team. I'm a firm believer in that life is too short and we all have to do what makes us happy, so thank you Pall Mall Medical, you've made me really happy! "
