What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Saint Lucia?

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 Saint Lucia?

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

" "Very pleasant experience, reception staff were welcoming and offered refreshments. Consultation with Nurse Bev was very good. She was friendly, competent and professional." Location: Newton-le-Willows "

" I had breast augmentation with Dr Prasad. I had never had any form of surgery or been under general anesthetic so I was very nervous. The staff were absolutely amazing and the room was spotless!! I have forgotten names but all the staff looked after me and really made me feel comfortable. Even just before I went in for my operation I didn't feel nervous and really trusted the staff. Thank you so much for my positive experience! "

Eleanor Robertson , Pall Mall Cosmetics

" Excellent experience. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and my consultation was very thorough. Everything was explained to me and any questions I had ( no matter how small or silly) were answered. My husband came with me and everything was explained to us as a couple which was lovely as obviously, any procedure will affect our whole family, not just myself. This made us feel incredibly positive and confident in our choice if care. I would highly recommend Pall Mall to anyone who is considering private treatment."
