Incredible service – so helpful
Excellent service! Chazile went above and beyond to prepare me for my travels to south east Asia. Very kind, sharp and added helpful bits of information that will be useful during my travels. Even created a vaccine booklet for me that I asked for to keep track of my vaccines for the future. Highly recommended The London Vaccination Clinic. Thanks again Chazile 🙂 Nick

Travel vacines

Attended a consultation for travel vacines, the nurse explained everything with care, provided good advice. We then add a follow up consultation with a different nurse for the vaccines and was also very kind and professional. Was very impressed, we did not feel pressured to have more vacines then reasonable and both nurses gave pricing information upfront.

Very positive experience

Really easy to book and the nurse who I saw in Liverpool Street was really kind and helpful. She went through my vaccination history, what I needed for my trip and explained everything I needed to know ahead of administrating the vaccine I needed.
I am glad I arrived early as the venue was tricky to find as the name of the building has changed so doesn’t match Google maps. Put me in a slight panic as I thought I was going to miss my appointment but I found it in the end!

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside…

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside and out. I have a fear of needles and she was so patient and reassuring from beginning to end. She asked me questions, helped me to relax and made me feel like an individual rather than just someone on the list for the day.

Further Travel Health Advice for Paraguay

There are reports of outbreaks of Dengue Fever in Paraguay, and we do advise taking care to protect yourself with insecticide sprays and protective clothing.

Extreme heat is rare in Paraguay, and the climate is generally temperate. Between October and March, warm winds blow down from the Amazon. In the hottest month, January, temperatures can reach into the mid eighties.

The water in Paraguay is not safe to drink. It is recommended that you drink only bottled water, or spring water, and also use these for brushing your teeth, no matter which area you visit. Avoid using ice cubes.

The staples of Paraguayan cooking are cassava and corn. These are used to make flour and are cooked as part of a meal. There is a huge Spanish influence, with Latin and Brazilian overtones. Meat is combined with eggs and cheese, and Mandioca, a local crop takes the place of potatoes. The National drink is tertere, which is a type of bitter tea.

It is recommended that you use only private clinics in Paraguay. It goes without saying that available health care services would not be as good in remote locations, so do check before travelling to outer regions. Arrange in advance to have enough money with you to pay for any health care you might need.

Protect yourself, and your family, with comprehensive travel health insurance which will cover your intended itinerary and any potentially risky activities.

Do take precautions when travelling anywhere in Paraguay, as there is always a risk of violence and street crime, particularly in city centres. Be cautious, and leave your valuables at home before your trip. Keep your cash and travellers’ cheques secure.
