What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Dominican Republic?

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 Dominican Republic?

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

" "Wonderful experience with my surgeon Dr. A EL Gawad, nurses & staff, following significant weight loss Dr. Gawad and his team performed a tummy tuck, arm lift and breast uplift in one go. Well supported by my own doctors, extremely pleased with the outcome with my new 25 year old boobs, perfectly flat stomach and don’t wear long sleeves anymore, wore a bikini in Spain this summer, first time in 30 years!!!, more compliments than I can handle, my husband even more pleased, finally happy and confident with my new body, my own doctors stunned by the results and Dr Gawad’s workmanship. I can't thank Dr. Gawad and the team enough, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, highly professional and approachable. Happy to discuss with anyone planning to undergo any of these procedures if needed." "

" "Very pleased so far with my ear. I am at the healing stage now. I felt at ease and everyone was so nice. It was great! I Just had a little hiccup with time of my treatments. But all worked out in the end.""

" "I had the breast augmentation surgery and all I can say is "wow". I am over the moon with the results. From start to finish Mr A EL Gawad has been amazing. He provided lots of information at the initial consultation and asked me to think about it before deciding. As I booked the operation 6 weeks in advance he wanted to see me just before the appointment date to make sure I was happy to still go ahead and if I had any more questions. Before the appointment I was able to email him directly and he always responded promptly to any questions I had. On the day of my surgery he put me at ease. All the staff he worked with were so nice and made me feel relaxed even though they knew how nervous I was. The evening after the surgery he called me at home to check how I was doing. This is the 3rd time I have had plastic surgery and I can honestly say I have never had this level of service. I am so please with the results. I have had minimal pain since the operation. Although I am still swollen the results look amazing as they are in proportion. I know the implant he helped me pick is actually perfect for my frame. After doing a lot of research I can honestly say I never expected the results to be as good as they are. I am truly grateful to him for the fantastic job he has done. From start to finish the whole experience has been amazing. I would recommend Mr A EL Gawad to anyone. I have used other private hospitals for surgery and I am a nurse therefore I know the overall experience and levels of service has been outstanding.""
