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 went to 3 companies before Pall Mall Cosmetics and the second I called and spoke to Sara my mind was made up. Mr El Gawad was outstanding and Ive ended up with everything I always wanted. Sara even stayed with my throughout the procedure and checked on me, I was overwhelmed with the personal service I received. Maxine my nurse was just lovely and it was like belonging to a family. Everyone who I dealt with couldnt of been more lovely. Sara and Maxine even checked on me well after my procedure. I cannot thank everyone enough, Mr El Gawad was amazing, and I got exactly what I always wanted and it was one of the most lovely experiences. Thank you to everyone who looked after me."

" 10/10!!! This may be the first time I've ever made a review... and I'm 33 years old. I just happened to come across Pall Mall Medical on google as I needed a quick blood test doing for my job. They were the most competitive in price around the whole of Manchester so I went ahead and booked an appointment. They saw me the same day I enquired and when I went there the place was immaculate and beautifully laid out. Just when I thought this would be the highlight of my experience, I then met my nurse (Cristina) who was just amazing! She was polite, extremely professional, reassuring (as I'm not a fan of needles) and most of all extremely good at her job. The size of the needle was huge and of all the times I've had this procedure done, this one was by far the easiest and pain free! She is by far Pall Mall Medical's biggest asset! My experience was so good that I told my family about the staff and service and now Pall Mall will have all 6 of us for any of our medical needs, due to an amazing nurse and professional, easy service. Thank you Cristina, Thanks Pall Mall - Babak"
