What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Switzerland?

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 Switzerland?

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

" Lovely doctor, very helpful and welcoming and filled us full of confidence"

R.Cleaton, July 2014

" Just got back home from my breast uplift and augmentation surgery so would like to share my experience.Mr Gawad is the most kind, caring, considerate and proffesional surgeon I have met. I have seen a lot of surgeons and done my research as you should, and I can't speak highly enough of Mr Gawad. He is an absolute credit to his proffesion, and if only all surgeons were like him I'm sure everyone would be feeling like I do. He has totally exceeded my expectations although still early days he has changed my life. From start to finish from the initial consultation to my surgery has been smooth running and his team, clinic and staff are amazing, kind, caring professional. I would 1000000% recommend him to anybody considering surgery he knows exactly what he's doing and I trusted him from the off. I can't wait to go back next week to get tge dressings off send I can't thank him enough or speak highly of him enough! I'm back home and feeling great all thanks to this wonderful man! Thank you Mr Gawad"

" It was a pleasant experience. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Everything was clear and professional. "

" "At the age of 49 I was fed up with what I can only describe as extra skin and tissue that hung from my stomach toward the top of my thighs. This was not about looking thinner it was about getting rid of the bulge that showed through my clothing. No gym class or diet was ever going to sort this out. I had an abdominoplasty to sort out this problem. Dr El Gawad was very helpful and very honest about what needed to be done. I felt very comfortable dealing with him and was amazed that Mr EL Gawad contacted me directly. The staff were professional and caring and the anaesthetist was extremely well qualified, very confident and knowledgeable. Mr El Gawad and all the staff were lovely. I would have no problem recommending Mr EL Gawad and the clinic.""
