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

" "Mr El Gawad is a credit to his profession, I would highly recommend him for any cosmetic surgery. From first initial contact personal telephone call from him too my first meeting I was put at ease. My first consultation 20 minutes was free. I had done a lot of research about a breast lift and had thought of a tummy tuck after meeting him and deciding that I was certain this was for me. 20 years of stretch marks and saggy bust. I thought the price was very good for the surgery and aftercare. I am amazed at the results my scars are fantastic after only 5 months. My husband was very nervous after seeing pictures on the internet and he is very happy with the results. The staff at Pall Mall are fantastic and the care you receive is brilliant. Mr El Gawad thank you for your care! He even rang me at home several times after to check on me & how I was and the nurse visited me at home to remove drains and check on me plus daily phone calls. You will not be disappointed. My next review with him is after 6 months the after care is being great. I would recommend him to my family and friends Excellent I was very nervous but Mr El Gawad put me at ease and was available before and after with any queries. You will not be disappointed!""

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, 04/05/2017

" I had my Breast Enlargement surgery over a year ago now and I still cannot stop looking at them. From the very start, my experience at Pall Mall Medical was second to none. The lovely Helen booked my initial consultation and answered and addressed all of my questions and concerns. I was nervous ahead of my consultation but Mr Prasad put me at ease throughout and took the time to explain the procedure in full. I had no qualms in putting my trust in him 100%. I truly felt like a VIP throughout my cosmetic journey. The ward nurse (Amanda) was so lovely and attentive, I would happily go back and do it all over again! 5 stars from me!"

" Reception staff were great when I had to keep rearranging surgery day. When I went for post op checkup & dressings off a woman named Jemma was there with me. She was great, very professional. She even arranged for some flowers to be delivered as a surprise to my house as I'd got engaged in the day of my surgery."
