Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection. To add more, it is highly contagious. Although it can be treated with antibiotics, it can roll in some fatal complications. Hence, a vaccine is always recommended.

The symptoms of diphtheria include a whitish plaque on the tonsils and sore throat that make breathing difficult. Moreover, a high-grade fever, cough with difficulty and pain on swallowing, swollen neck glands, bloody plus foul-smelling nasal discharge and cyanosis (bluish skin) are also symptoms of diphtheria.

Hence, if you are travelling to Sub-Saharan Africa, south-east Asia or South America, a diphtheria vaccine is highly recommended. Contact our team now to book yourself our vaccination service against diphtheria. We’ll also advise you on other vaccines you might need before embarking on your journey.

Rabies is a viral disease that is transmitted to humans by bites of rabid animals (most commonly dogs). The virus ascends up your nervous system and attacks your brain. Bad thing, it can cause death if not treated. This makes vaccination against rabies very important especially when travelling to areas where it is prevalent.

The symptoms of rabies start with a flu-like illness along with fever and headache. Not to mention, there is pain at the bite site and anxiety. And after few days, you experience severe symptoms such as hallucinations, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing and muscle paralysis etc.

 
So, if you are travelling to Afghanistan, Africa or Argentina, you should definitely contact us to get a timely rabies vaccination.

Tetanus is a bacterial condition that is usually fatal if left untreated.

The symptoms of tetanus include lockjaw (difficulty to open your jaw), muscle spasms (especially in respiratory muscles that makes breathing difficult), a high fever and tachycardia.

If you are worried about contracting a tetanus infection and want to vaccinate yourself as a part of your travel vaccination protocol, contact our team now. We’ll arrange a quick vaccination appointment to address your concerns.

Malaria is caused by a parasite called plasmodium. This parasite is transmitted to the human body via a mosquito bite. It replicates inside the body and infects red blood cells.

The symptoms of the disease include fever with chills, body aches and abdominal pain (sometimes). It can also cause anaemia and jaundice as a result of damage to RBC's.

It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions (Asia, Africa, South America and some parts of Europe). The recommended protection is a prophylactic treatment with antibiotics or vaccination, if available. Hence, if you are planning a trip to any of the areas where malaria is common, contact us now for a complete vaccination and prophylactic plan prior to your tour. We’ll roll you in with an appointment without delay.

Moreover, sometimes the disease rolls in serious symptoms such as jaundice (yellow skin), bleeding from the nose and blood in stools. And yes, at times it can be fatal too.

Your best chance is to get vaccinated. Thus, if you are travelling to an area where yellow fever is common, contact our team for vaccination plans and other preventive options. We’ll assist you with an easy and quick appointment.

Dengue fever is another mosquito borne viral condition that grabs special focus because it is widespread throughout the world. It is transmitted by a mosquito bite and usually passes without any complications. However, it is not uncommon for it to cause death without a timely treatment.

Symptoms include a high-grade fever (104 °F), nausea and vomiting, muscle and joint pain, headache and pain around the eyes etc. The symptoms typically last for some days. Even when the symptoms go away, you feel general weakness for weeks before recovering completely.

So, if you’ve travelled to an area where dengue is endemic, and you now feel the symptoms, contact our team now. Our experts will breeze in all the necessary help. Because a vaccine against dengue virus is not readily available, the recommended step remains to avoid a mosquito bite using mosquito repellents.

Japanese Encephalitis is a mosquito borne infection common in South-east Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Far east. It is a viral infection that does not usually show symptoms or even if it does, it is limited to mild flu-like illness.

However, it can sometimes invade the brain, hence the name encephalitis. Involvement of the brain leads to severe symptoms such mental confusion, uncontrollably tremors, muscle weakness and paralysis. This often results in death. Even if you survive, it takes months to recover completely.

Cholera is an infection caused by a bacteria called Vibrio cholera. It causes severe diarrhoea that leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. And yes, it can be fatal sometimes.

Cholera is transmitted via eating food or drinking water contaminated with human faeces. Hence, it is more common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene practices. The symptoms of cholera can build up very quickly as it leads to profuse watery diarrhoea and vomiting. Excessive fluid loss causes hypovolaemia (drop in blood volume) that can cause death. Consult our experts now for a timely vaccination against cholera.
