What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Antigua and Barbuda?

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 Antigua and Barbuda?

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 had Gynecomastia surgery with Dr. El Gawad. The treatment was not too uncomfortable and within a few days I was back to living my normal life albeit without strenuous exercise but cooking, cleaning, driving etc. was fine. I would not hesitate to have the surgery again. The clinic was brilliant and at every point kept me informed of what was going to happen and when and gave me numerous opportunities to meet with Dr. El Gawad should I have any questions or queries. I chanced upon them as a facility but luck came in and saw me right.""

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, 21/06/2017

" The clinic was immaculate and rooms luxurious. All staff that I came into contact with on day had such a lovely manner and totally put me at ease whilst informing me of everything that was to take place."

Kelly Randall, Newton-le-Willows

" I had breast implant removal and uplift. From my first meeting with Mr El Gawad i knew i wanted him to perform my surgery. From start to finish I can honestly say I have had a fantastic service from Pall Mall medical. Mr El Gawad made my experience feel very personal, he always got back to me with in a timely manner. He answered all emails I sent him, he goes above and beyond his duties as a surgeon. He is very kind and understanding with a brilliant sense of humour. I would not hesitate in recommending him. You would have to go a long way to find a surgeon of his quality. 5* service"

" I had some bloods taken and another thanks goes to Jordan who ensured my results were received within the time frame of 24 hours. When I need medical assistance I contact Pall Mall Medical before my GP for that piece of mind in a very quick turnaround of time."
