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 attended Pall Mall Medical for the Hay Fever Injection as this year I suffered with hayfever so severely. I was having sleepless nights, constant running nose and eyes and itching eyes and throat. The injection was very quick and painless and my hayfever symptoms eased the very next day, I feel so grateful that I can live a normal life through summer and enjoy the sun. Thank you!"

" "I have wanted a breast reduction for many years and did a lot of research to find the right surgeon for me. From the start I had an excellent first impression of Dr EL-Gawad. He was professional, realistic about the surgery and results and had a lovely bedside manner. In the end I had two procedures with him. Firstly a huge hernia repair with abdomoplasty and recently a breast reduction. It's very early days in my recovery, having smaller breasts is already such a relief. I no longer have the heavy weight pulling on my shoulders or neck. Dr EL-Gawad puts your safety first. Making the right decision not to combine both surgeries. My abdomoplasty has healed well with a very low, neat scar which will be hidden by the smallest bikini. He also was very accommodating by doing some tweaks (lipo) above the ends of my scar to flatten it more. After both operations, he contacted me very regularly at home to see how I was and I was free to have as many follow ups as I felt I needed. Very reassuring. Overall I would highly recommend Dr EL-Gawad and I am considering eye lid surgery with him in the future. A beautiful clinic more like a boutique hotel. Spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms. All theatre staff were kind and out me at ease at what can be a very nervous time. The nurses whilst highly professional are very caring, and friendly with a great sense of humour. Thank you, Amanda and Bev, for looking after me so well on both occasions.""
