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

" I was made to feel very welcome and it was lovely to be taken seriously and not treated as a waste of time. Very, very pleased with every aspect of my visits and I will be back."

V.Peel, July 2014

" "It was a very difficult time and a very difficult decision I had to make but I finally got the courage to get surgery. Mr. Gawad made me feel safe and completely relaxed during the surgery. The results are amazing I'm glad I have it done. I regret waiting years and years. I would definitely recommend.""

Patient at Pall Mall Medical, 12/06/2017

" "The whole process has been straightforward and clearly explained" "I'm currently three days post op following abdominoplasty at Pall Mall Clinic. I would highly recommend Mr El Gawad and his team. The whole process has been straightforward and clearly explained. I returned to see Mr El Gawad to have my drains removed. The results (so far) are fantastic Mr El Gawad expects further improvement over time. The staff at Pall Mall Clinic in Newton le Willows offered a high standard of care before, during and after my surgery. The facilities are of a very good quality and nothing was too much trouble for the team.""
