Je pars en Thaïlande dans un mois.
Il y a actuellement une rupture sur toute la France du vaccin pour l'Hépatite A et je pense ne pas être le seul voyageur qui cherche à ce procurer ce vaccin. Je suis de Toulouse et aucun moyen de le trouver dans les pharmacies dans et autour de la ville. Si dés personnes sont dans mon cas, comment avez vous fait pour le trouver ? Y a t'il des astuces pour l’obtenir ?
Le SMIT de Toulouse réserve tous ses vaccins pour les humanitaires...
Dans le cas ou je ne trouve pas le vaccin je ferai quand même la typhoïde, mais à quoi devrais je faire attention dans le pays (Oui à tout je sais...) en priorité ?
En prévention, il faut s'astreindre à une grande hygiène, l'hépatite A se transmettant par l'eau, les aliments et les mains sales. Donc éviter de consommer des aliments crus, pas de coquillages, attention à la vaisselle ou aux couverts présentant des traces d'eau de lavage, bien se laver les mains après être allé aux toilettes, ne pas se mettre les mains à la bouche, etc...
Mais tu es peut-être immunisé, ce qui est mon cas ayant passé une partie de ma jeunesse dans des pays en voie de développement.
Pas de panique et bon voyage
PS : avant l'existence du vaccin, beaucoup de personnes étaient victimes du virus; on appelait alors cette maladie, avec d'autres pathologies, la "jaunisse".
Sincèrement, ce n'est pas bien grave. Si tu bois de l'eau en bouteille, te laves souvent les mains et évites les crudités il y a peu de chances de l'attraper.
Et si jamais tu l'attrapais, ce n'est la plupart du temps pas grave. 90% des gens infectés n'ont aucun symptôme, et la maladie disparaît en quelques semaines.
Et la Thaïlande est un pays plutôt safe au niveau sanitaire : aucune raison de s'inquiéter.
Bonjour,
Il est très possible que vous n'en ayez pas besoin, notamment si vous avez déjà été affecté. Vous pouvez voyager sans vaccination, à condition de prendre les précautions déjà indiquées et qui d'ailleurs sont valables partout.
En revanche, je ne m'avancerais pas trop sur l'hygiène moyenne du pays, qui est loin d'atteindre les standards "occidentaux".
Faites comme certains expatriés, tout à la bière !
Ou comme moi, Coca Cola c'est fait pour ça.
Moi je n'en ai plus trouvé à Montpellier et un pharmacien m'a expliqué qu'un seul labo en France fabriquait ce vaccin et il se trouve qu'il ne le fait plus.
Ceux qui en ont trouvé ont eu le fond de tiroir, ou plutôt de frigo.
Ceux qui sont fragiles éviteront les salades et tout ce qui n'est pas cuit.
Attention aux cobras, aussi. Et particulièrement se méfier de tout ce qui a 2, 3, 4 ou 6 roues.

Vaccin pr la Thailande MMDDDRRRRR oublie dessuite, le rapport probleme/benefice est trop important.
trop de contre indication et effets secondaire a venir pour un risque quasi inexistant. C'est la meme chose pour la malaria etc etc
Makaka aime donner des réponses inappropriées.
Le vaccin hépatite A n'a pas d'effets secondaires trop importants donc si on peut le faire c'est toujours mieux. Maintenant il n'est pas indispensable non plus, pas de quoi annuler un séjour en cas de rupture, les explications ont été données, un peu de nuance dans vos réponses Makaka et votre MDRRRR... comment dire... 555
Ne vous ridiculisez pas davantage 😉
Tu as decider de me casser les roupettes longtemps? deja concernant le visa lis ma reponse je t'ai remis a ta place. Les vaccins ( deja certains controverse) se prennent si le risque est élevé et la Thaïlande n'en fait pas partie. Les effets indésirables couplés à la chaleur, exposition au soleil, fatigue, efforts etc etc ne feront pas passer des 1er jours tres agreables. Le rapport
benefice/ risque est donc desiquilibré donc vaccin a proscrire.
Tu ferais mieux si tu te rends a Samui par exemple de te faire vacciner contre la dengue qui elle frappe fort et partout mais Winatai le medecin du monde te dira certainement le contraire. Un ane..
Makaka je ne suis pas un défenseurs des vaccins mais celui sur l'hépatite A n'a aucun effet indésirable les quelques jours après la prise. Rien à voir avec les traitements contre la dengue qui sont très astreignants.
Après se faire 2 injections à 50€ qui plus est introuvables en pharmacie, si c'était vraiment indispensable, j'ose espérer que l'état ferait le nécessaire pour que les voyageurs puissent s'approvisionner. Maintenant je ne me permettrais pas de dire et conseiller qu'il vaut mieux s'en passer car certains ont eu des déconvenues et personnellement je l'avais fait. Je ne ferai pas le rappel requis (en France) au bout de 10 ans et qui est aussi controversé.
Je suis d'accord que la désinformation fait que chacun se retrouve à devoir prendre ses responsabilités sans forcément tout connaître et qu'il n'y a pas de solution idéale.
Au final on a trouvé les vaccins mais il n'y en a absolument pas sur Toulouse...
Bonsoir, Pour la région parisienne , Air France en dispose encore (quai de Jemmapes , ouvert à tous ). Ailleurs sûrement mais je ne suis pas renseigné vu que nous sommes tous déjà vaccinés, Vaccin utile en France et partout ailleurs: avis partagé par mon médecin et mon pédiatre. Peu de personnes savent si elles sont immunisées. Comme pour beaucoup de vaccins , il faut s'y prendre au moins 15 jours avant le départ , par précaution .
A chacun de suivre (ou pas ) les conseils de son Docteur.

7. Un vaccin contre la dengue
Un vaccin contre la dengue devrait être commercialisé par Sanofi Pasteur courant 2016. Les résultats des études cliniques menées en Asie et en Amérique latine semblent encourageants.
Toutefois, ce vaccin sera dans un premier temps destiné aux populations des zones endémiques plus fortement exposées au risque. Il n’est pas encore question que ce vaccin constitue une vaccination du voyageur.

Bonjour,
Le vaccin pour la dengue n'est pas destiné aux touristes.
La dengue est une maladie un peu particulière. Il en existe 4 types. Le fait d'avoir un des types ne vaccine pas contre les trois autres et surtout rend une contamination avec une de 3 autres souches beaucoup plus dangereuse. C'est dans ce cas que le vaccin est utile. Chez les sujets qui n'ont jamais été infectés il augmenterait le risque d'une maladie sévère en cas de contact avec un des virus de la dengue.
Bonsoir , Merci pour votre réponse précise . J'étais renseigné concernant le vaccin pour les touristes (plusieurs sources comme celle de Hmh) mais j'espérais que Makaka (avec tant d'assurance ) annonçait une bonne nouvelle , une info qui m'aurait échappé. Ce n'est pas le cas , tant pis . Je n'avais aucune info en rapport avec votre dernière phrase (dangerosité du vaccin dans certains cas). Merci encore .

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
