Vaccinations before the holidays can be expensive. Check the current price list and see how much you have to pay for them

Vacations in exotic countries can provide many unforgettable experiences, but also unpleasant surprises. Some of them can be effectively protected against with vaccinations. However, these are paid. Learn about their price list.
Holidays in exotic countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia or Jamaica involve serious changes in the functioning of the body, which must get used to high temperatures. A trip to the tropics also carries many risks. The greatest risk concerns diseases transmitted by insects. The most effective form of protection against these diseases is vaccination. See how much you have to pay for them this year.
What is worth getting vaccinated against before going on an exotic vacation?
High temperatures in tropical countries promote the transmission of various types of pathogens. Insects, especially mosquitoes, are also carriers of many viruses. Going on an exotic vacation carries an increased risk of contracting diseases such as yellow fever or Japanese encephalitis. However, the list of potential threats does not end there. It is also worth protecting yourself against diseases transmitted by animals, as well as those that are facilitated by poor sanitary conditions and poor hygiene. These include:
-
typhoid,
-
cholera,
-
rabies,
-
tick-borne encephalitis,
-
hepatitis A,
-
hepatitis B,
-
meningococci.
The National Medical Institute of the Ministry of Interior and Administration reminds future tourists and vacationers about the need to take a protective preparation in one of the posts recently published on social media. “Vaccinations before traveling can significantly increase your safety and comfort when traveling to exotic places. This is your ticket to a safe vacation – protecting against many tropical diseases typical of the regions you are traveling to,” we read in the shared message.
