What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Guatemala?

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 Guatemala?

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

" Was feeling low about how my face body had altered after losing 3 stone everything seemed to have dropped After lots of research and thinking I took the plunge and contacted Pall Mall via email and I got a response from Mr Ahmed El-Gawad from that first moment and all the way through he has been fantastic, above and beyond what one would expect on his level of care He discussed my issues and advised me on what and how then emailed me more information to read through before I had another meeting with him He wanted me to be 100% sure on what was involved and that I would be happy with results, no rushing, no pressure , any question small or silly answered and re answered if needed , I found that I was comfortable with finding my surgeon, someone who understood my needs and I trusted as it's a big thing to go through The hospital was very clean at Newton le Williows and staff very kind and professional . If you are lucky enough to meet Maxine ( nurse ) she is fabulous and I real asset to Dr Ahmed El-Gawad team On the day of surgery Dr Ahmed El-Gawad and the team where great and I had my tummy tuck, mini face lift and implants and stayed in over night I live a hour from hospital and Dr Ahmed El-Gawad came and visited me on the Friday evening after a full day in surgery I am just over 2 weeks on now and the pain is very little I am so very very happy with the results at 2 weeks and they will improve after swelling etc has gone If anyone is thinking about surgery I would without a doubt contact Dr Ahmed El-Gawad, I did without being recommended from a friend as I didn't want people to know, hand on heart he's the best "

" This was my first visit to Pall Mall and I was very impressed. The procedure was explained thoroughly and time taken to chat prior to the procedure I thought was very important. This assisted both doctor and myself in knowing exactly what my expectations were and to fully understand the procedure and the outcome. Would certainly return and recommend to others."

" "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." "
