Etudiant en médecine et petit voyageur passionné, je me suis rendu compte que les gens qui partaient à l'étranger et qui faisait leur vaccins se faisaient quasiment tous avoir.
En effet, l'Institut Pasteur et des centres de vaccinations Air France vous propose des consultations du voyage gratuites (😉, cool me direz vous), mais ce que ça cache c'est un prix de vaccin exhorbitant (50€ pour une dose anti rabbique, qui necessite 4 rappels). Les acheter en pharmacie avec l'ordonnance du medecin, vous coute le même prix.
L'astuce consiste à aller dans un hôpital public, dans un service de polyclinique en consultation du voyage, où un médecin vous reçoit sur RDV (consultation de 20€), mais où les vaccins acheté en grosse quantité coutent beaucoup, beaucoup moins cher. Par exemple, 17€ pour un vaccin contre l'Hepatite A, contre 50€ demandé en pharmacie, c'est à peu près le même chose pour le vaccin anti rabique.
Le mieux, c'est quand vous y retournez 1 an plus tard pour un autre voyage, et que le medecin ne vous fais pas payé la consultation parce que vous ne revenez que pour un rappel qui compte comme acte d'infirmier (environ 4€50). Bref dans tous les cas, ça vaut le coup, ne serait ce que de demander les tarifs.
Voila espérant toucher le plus de monde, et remercier ceux qui m'ont tant aidé pour mes voyages...
Merci beaucoup pour l'info, l'ami, ça risque d'en aider plus d'un, moi y compris
comme disait un auteur génial, la médecine est une putain, son maquero c'est le pharmacien.....
bref
merci encore
Salut l'ami et merci pour l'info quoique je me bouffe les doigts de n'etre pas venue plustôt faire un tour sur le coin santé du forum!!
Ben oui, je pars le 12 septembre et je ma suis déjà fait vaccinné contre fievre jaune ( 17, 57€ +22 € consult)
tiavax (73.80€)
vac meningite ( 32.39 €)
antirabique (126€ )
a cela 1 boite de malarone a 43.95€ pour 12 cachets ( ça fait cher la pilule, a avaler je sais pas ce que ça donnera !!!)😕
Bref je n'imaginais pas que ça me couterai aussi cher. Sais tu si y'a aussi moyen de se procurer de la malarone a l'hopital ? j'en ai encore 2 boite a acheter donc si je peux au moins economiser sur ça !!😉
merci d'avance !
anthesyte
ce n'est pas le temps qui passe, mais nous qui passons....
Nous sommes allés au chu de nantes, service consultation des voyageurs !
28€ de consultation pour 3 (qu'on ne paye qu'une fois)
3 vaccins pour la rage a 44.50€ le vaccin soit 9*44.50€ car trois injection
3 vaccins pour l encephalite japonaise à 54.01€ le vaccin soit 9*54.01€ car trois injections.
en ce qui concerne l'hepathite A et la thyphoide, le centre de vaccination donne uniquement la prescription, mais achat des vaccins en pharmacie et consultation medecin pour injections.
cout total de l'operation environ 1000€ pour trois !
Je dirai meme auteur de genie ! -- Vive renaud ! -- ;)
Moi je pars faire le tour du monde et je cherche une solution "economique" pour tous ces vaccins, alors si qlq1 a des infos je suis preneuse !
Pour quels vaccins faut il avoir une ordonnance pour l' acheter a la pharmacie ? Je crois que certains ne requiert pas d'ordonance ?!
pour la rage et l'encephalite japo y a 3 doise a 7 jours puis 21 ou 28 d'intervalle...Est ce un peu modulable ???
J'habite a Londres, je ne vais pas pouvoir faire autant d'A/R a paris pour ces vaccins...
Derniere questions, est ce que c'est - cher a Londres ??? Si qlq1 sait ?
c'est super
encore faut-il en avoir un.... et oui, tous les hôpitaux ne sont pas égaux, je pense que cette astuce fonctionne à Paris, et dans certains grands CHU mais pas tous et certainement pas dans les CHG
alors quand il faut rajouter le coût du transport...
Euh, un petit truc juste, t'es pas le premier à en parler, je sais pas qui vous conseille de faire le vaccin contre l'encephalite japonaise, mais je crois me souvenir en avoir parler à ma medecin du voyage et qui nous avait répondu que ce n'est pas un vaccin conseillé en France, il n'est plus fait que par le centre Pasteur (qui douille pas mal, comme Air France), donc renseigne toi un peu sur les avantages et les inconvénients (nombreux effets secondaires du vaccin?, efficacité, en gros le rapport benefice/risque-cout : central en medecine) et peut etre que si tu ne fais pas un trek de 3 mois en zone rural avec une maladie qui est gravissime, mais relativement exceptionnelle.
En tout les cas, ça ne se fait pas en CHU (enfin pas tous).
Après c'est mon avis perso, mais j'ai un peu envie de dire de meme pour la rage (surtout chez Air France, à 50€ la dose, contre 20 à l'APHP), qui ne te fait gagner que quelques jours et plus de chances de guérir, intérressant si tu es à plus de 3 jours d'un centre de vaccination anti rabique, dispo dans les tres grandes villes (en Inde en tout cas).
Avec mon amie, nous partons faire un tour du monde et nous passons 3 mois en Asie du Sud Est (Malaisie, Thaliande, Cambodge et VietNam). Les vaccins conseillés par le guide du routard sont (prix institut pasteur):
- être à jour diphtérie, tétanos, polio, coqueluche, hépatite B
- Tyavax (fièvre typhoïde + hépatite A) --> 71€
- encéphalite japonaise --> 57€
- rage --> 41€
Sont-ils réellement nécessaires? je préfère ne pas prendre pas de risques...🤪
Où peut-on les faire moins pour moins chers à coup sur et rapidement (départ prévu début aout)??
Nous pouvons nous rendre aux CHU de Angers, Le Mans, Toulouse et sur Paris aussi pour les vaccins en une seule fois!!
Etant tout le mois de juillet sur Toulouse ce serait plus facile de le faire là bas (surtout si il y a plusieurs injections avec plusieurs jours d'intervalle??).
Merci de vos réponses car cela représente une dépense importante dans notre budget, donc si on peut faire quelques économies... 😉
je ne ferais pas rage et encéphalite japonaise car vous ne passez que 3 mois en Asie donc vous n'aurez pas le temps d'aller dans les régions reculés.
pour hépatite A et typhoide, c'est indispensable, à mon sens, puisque nous mangeons dans des boui-boui.
faites plusieurs pharmacie pour évaluer les prix (le moins cher que j'ai trouvé au Mans : 65€) car il peut y avoir des dizaines d'euros d'écart
Bref en espérant que vous êtes encore dans le coin, je pars en Inde au mois de juin.
Je suis lyonnaise, et les secrétaires médicales à qui je parle de "services polycliniques en consultation du voyage" ne me répondent pas ce que j’attends...comment trouver ce service, où les personnes à qui il faut directement s'adresser?

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!
