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

" [Mr El Gawad] really cares for his patients and you can tell he has a real passion for his job I had a full tummy tuck, flank lipo, diastasis recti repair, hernia repair and breast augmentation. I need the surgery after having 3 children and breast feeding in close succession to each other my eldest and then twins 18 months apart. Carrying twins left me with extensive muscle damage, hernia and a whole lot of excess skin on my tummy and breasts. I am over the moon with the treatment i have received from Mr El Gawad from the very first contact to post op. He put my mind at rest and understood me and my goals to i wanted to achieve. Mr El Gawad is so professional but puts you at ease with his experience and knowledge. The personal touch that you get with Mr El Gawad was also a big positive for me and a deciding factor to which surgen to use. The fact that he rang me himself from the beginning to giving me his personal contact details for any question i may have was impressive and knowing i could contact him with and concern's was reassuring. He really cares for his patients and you can tell he has a real passion for his job. In conclusion my results are amazing and i would recommend Mr El Gawad to everyone without doubt or hesitation. Thank you, you have no idea how this will change my life. The clinic was very professional and efficient Jemma and Lacey are great and very helpful. The clinic was clean, modern and inviting. The clinical staff also did an amazing job with care and was also very professional. Thank you again!"

" "I am really pleased" "I am extremely happy with results from my breast augmentation. After several consultations with Dr. A EL Gawad, he made me feel at ease and more than confident in the size that I had chose. He was really helpful and realistic during this time. He's always on hand to answer any queries personally. The day of surgery for me was very daunting but all the staff at Pall Mall & Mr. EL Gawd himself really looked after me. The anesthetist was brilliant. This is something i would now recommend to anyone feeling the way I felt for so many years. Mr. EL Gawad is fabulous at what he does, they are perfect in size for me, he really cared and wanted me to be sure in the process I was about to go through. The aftercare, the appointments following seeing the results I am really pleased. Pall Mall Newton le Willows was a great place to have my surgery. The anesthetist was brilliant, the nurses very caring and on hand checking every 15 mins after my op. Would definitely recommend.""
