What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Bolivia?

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 Bolivia?

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

" We had a appointment in Manchester with Cristina for blood tests. She is the most professional and experienced nurse I ever met, was calm and patient with me although I was not ready. Thank you Cristina."

" I had been suffering from a skin condition for around 8 weeks, it started as a small rash when I initially went to my walk in centre to be told it was nothing to worry about but go to my GP if it got worse. Well it did get worse and 3 days later I paid a visit to my GP who told me it was folliculitis and gave me antibiotics and cortisone cream. This seemed to work initially but within 2 weeks the rash had spread rapidly across my body which seemed to get worse after I'd been the gym. I went to the walk in centre who told me they didn't know what it was so I had to wait nearly 2 weeks to see my GP. It got to a point were I couldn't cope with the severe itching and discomfort so I went to A&E who told me I had scabies but thenot she said it might not be and if it wasn't she didn't know what it was. I finally got to see my GP who referred me to a dermatologist. Due to the severity of the rash and having to take time off work as I couldn't wear clothes I booked a consultation with Pall Mall Medical in Liverpool. I had an appointment with Dr West and she was fantastic and gave me a diagnosis and treatment straight away. The treatment started working more a less straight away and providEd me with a lot of relief. I went to see the NHS dermatologist on the 16th May and didn't get a good reception from her at all. That was over 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for the results of the scrap she took and for an appointment for a biopsy. I never thought I'd ever need to go private for my health but I'm so glad I did on this occasion. I would recommend Pall Mall Medical in Liverpool to families without a doubt xxxxxx"
