What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Barbados?

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 Barbados?

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 a face and neck lift carried out by Mr Gawad who has been amazing,from my first consultation, where Mr Gawad listened to what I wanted,gave me options on how he would achieve this, then explained the procedure thoroughly, he put me at ease and answered any questions i had. I had my operation 4 days ago and i could not be happier! there has been little swelling and no pain!! and the results are just amazing! far exceeded my expectations. My procedure was carried out at Newton le Willows medical centre,where every member of the team there were just so nice and really looked after me. Mr Gawad even rang me at home to find out how i was,i don't know of any other surgeon that does that. I would recommend Mr Gawad to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.I cannot thank him enough."

T.Richardson, October 2014

" Excellent pre and post op care. I had a slight complication two weeks after op, which is very common was seen very quickly and minor procedure done there and then. Very reassuring."

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, Newton-le-Willows

" "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.""
