Only vaccination gives you the confidence to travel in complete comfort without the need for treatment, often in poor conditions.
Maintaining full health will allow you to spend your holiday according to your plans. After all, an infectious disease could force travellers not only to take immediate treatment on site, but also to return to the country. Lack of proper vaccinations may be associated not only with the disease, but also with dangerous complications.
Mandatory vaccinations
The International Health Regulations indicate that the most important tropical vaccination is against yellow fever (yellow fever). This must be done before travelling to some tropical countries, including Africa and South America. Lack of a vaccination certificate may result in refusal of entry or forced vaccination at the border and quarantine at your own expense. Before travelling to remote areas, you should check which vaccinations are obligatory and which are only voluntary.
Recommended vaccinations: Abdominal pipe – vaccination
The typhoid vaccine is effective for 3 years and helps protect against an inflammatory outbreak, i.e. Salmonella Typhi. They are the cause of an acute and chronic infectious disease. The infection itself occurs through food, through contaminated food or water. The abdominal fool can also be infected through close contact with the carrier. Acute gastrological symptoms with the possibility of intestinal perforation are one of the symptoms and complications of the disease, which is typhoid. A vaccine will effectively prevent the infection. Keep this in mind, as these symptoms may appear even after you return from your journey.
