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

Imagine visiting one of the lovely beaches at Cap Haitien, on Haiti’s north coast, knowing that the wreck of Columbus’ Santa Maria lies just nearby. Afterwards, head just 20 miles south to visit the Citadelle built by Henri Christophe, a huge fortress in the mountains, or visit the ruins of the Sans Souci palace. An artist’s paradise awaits at trendy Jacmel on the south coast, and don’t miss Haiti’s famous Parc Macaya where you can hike through lush rainforest. Your first stop on your way to Haiti should be a visit to our Travel Health Clinic, four to eight weeks before departure, so that you will be completely safe and up-to-date with the Vaccinations you need for Haiti.

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 Haiti
Haiti is tropical, with intermittent rain through most of the year, and temperatures on the coast usually run between 25 and 30. It is important to remember that you will need to wear sun block lotion, 15 or 20 SPF, and apply it often. Wear lightweight tropical clothing, and warmer clothing for mountain areas.
Outbreaks of dengue fever have been reported in Haiti from time-to-time. Make sure that you cover up by wearing long sleeve and long trousers, wear DEET 50% insect repellant and sleep under a mosquito net. Also, avoid contact with stray dogs and other animals.
The tap water in Haiti is not fit to drink, and is considered contaminated. Drink only spring water and purified water, which are cheap and readily available. Avoid ice cubes completely. Bring lots of bottled water with you wherever you go in Haiti, and replenish fluids throughout the day, with water, fruit juices or coconut milk.
A fusion of French, African and Caribbean cuisines, Creole cooking dominates the menus in most Haitian restaurants, and the choices go on and on. Fresh fish and shellfish are always delicious, whether fried, grilled or cooked in a creole stew with vegetables, but you will miss out if you don’t try some of the specialties unique to Haiti. How about Guinea hen with sour orange sauce, or grillot, which is fried island pork? These might be served with a dish of rice and black mushrooms or rice and peas. There is a choice of many juicy tropical fruits, but be sure they are washed or peeled. Coconut water is often substituted for water, and is very refreshing. Haitian beer, Prestige, and famous Barbancourt rum are the most popular alcoholic drinks, but imported wines are available in good restaurants.
Health care in Haiti is best in Port au Prince, where there are good medical facilities, and a few hospitals with international standards. There are also good pharmacies across the country. It is important that you arrange in advance to have enough money with you to pay for any health care you might need at hospitals and private clinics.
Protect yourself, and your family, with comprehensive travel health insurance which will cover your intended itinerary and any potentially risky activities, such as hiking, and water sports.
Aside from observing the normal precautions, such as leaving your valuables in your hotel safe, and not carrying large sums of cash, visitors must be aware that street crime here is a factor. Double check the credentials of tour guides before agreeing on a price, especially at major tourist areas like the Citadelle. Avoid eating uncooked vegetables, and salads. Milk in Haiti is non-pasteurised, so ask for powdered milk instead.
