We would like to make you aware of changes regarding the childhood vaccination schedule: Research has shown that children who were under five years of age when they had their first Meningitis C vaccine require a booster at age 13.At the practice we also offer a combined vaccination including Meningitis A,C,W,Y. This vaccination is recommended for people planning to travel in developing countries, students planning a gap year and boarding school pupils.

Before you set off, there is a lot you can do to
protect your health. Vaccinations can provide effective protection against many
serious diseases! Which
vaccinations should you and your family choose? Children should be vaccinated
according to the German or English vaccination scheme.

Adults
should boost their tetanus / diphtheria / polio vaccinations every 10 years. Check
if you have been vaccinated twice against measles / mumps / rubella as the
number of measles cases are currently rising at an alarming rate throughout
Europe. Which
vaccinations will you need while traveling in Europe or traveling to the Mediterranean?
The vaccination against FSME, a tick-transmitted disease (early-summer
meningococcal encephalitis, meningitis), is particularly important. As infectious
ticks continue to spread, we suggest checking if your resort is located in an affected
area. An interactive tick map is available at www.zecken.deIf
you are traveling to the Mediterranean, vaccinations against hepatitis A and
typhoid are recommended. In
Eastern and Southern Europe rabies is also a potential threat. This is
transmitted by bites or scratches from stray animals and is a very serious
infectious disease. It can be fatal if you are not vaccinated. When
traveling to Asia, Africa or Latin America polio, hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines
are usually recommended as well as rabies and cholera.In
some countries vaccination against yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis are
required. You can find information about the respective countries on www.fitfortravel.nhs.ukFor
international travel we highly recommend protection against meningococci in particular
the latest vaccine against 4 meningococcal groups. This is especially important
for young people and young adults who go on group trips (or attend boarding
schools) because in this age group, the risk of infection is particularly high.
For effective protection, multiple vaccinations are usually necessary. Therefore,
we recommend arranging a vaccination consultation at least 6 weeks before you
travel.We wish you a happy and healthy summer!
Your Medicaoptima Team
