Bonjour
J 'ai 2 questions :
Qui pourrait m'expliquer a quoi sert "check my trip ?" ce que c'est exactement??
( J'ai réservé un billet pour le Sénégal en février 2018, j'ai reçu l'e.billet par mail).
Par ailleurs, je n'ai pas de carnet de vaccination et on recommande le vaccin de la fièvre jaune.
mais, s il y a des cas détectés, il peuvent l'exiger à la douane...
J'ai déjà fait ce vaccin en 85, et il est à vie à priori.
Donc, Je fais quand même une sérologie pour voir si j ai toujours des anticorps.
Cependant, si je n'ai pas besoin de refaire ce vaccin, mais qu'on me demande le carnet de vaccination, est que la preuve que j'ai les anticorps, et une attestation du centre de vaccination ou du généraliste suffit?
Merci pour vos réponses!
Annie
CheckMyTrip est un site ou (surtout) une app qui te permet de stocker tes billets une fois réservés. Sur base de ton nom et du numéro de réservation il l'a récupère et tu peux y accéder facilement sans avoir à aller sur le site de la companie. Il t'envoie aussi des rappels, tu permets d'accéder au Check-in en ligne facilement.
Pas indispensable mais utile (surtout en app) si tu veux avoir tout à un seul endroit.
Poyr la fièvre jaune j'ai pas de réponse certaine donc je passe mon tour.
Bonjour,
Le Sénégal est un pays pour lequel la vaccination est recommandée, et obligatoire uniquement pour les voyageurs qui arrivent ou ont transité dans les 6 jours précédant leur arrivée au Sénégal dans un pays où la vaccination est obligatoire. Si vous arrivez d'Europe , aucun problème.
Par ailleurs la vaccination est recommandée mais si vous avez une sérologie OK vous êtes tranquille. Le carnet de vaccination pour la fièvre jaune est.....jaune, avec le logo de l'OMS. On ne peut pas inscrire officiellement le vaccin de la fièvre jaune dans le carnet où sont notés les autres vaccinations.
Merci pour l info. Si ma serologie est negative, je ferai donc le vaccin, au cas ou, on me le reclame. Par contre, je n ai pas de carnet de vaccination non plus, pour les autres vaccins...cvest pas grave??? C est surtout la fievre jaune non??
Le carnet pour la fièvre jaune est spécifique et remis par les centres de vaccinations agréés pour pratiquer cette vaccination. On peut inscrire dans ce carnet d'autres vaccins, mais comme mentionné avant on ne peut pas noter le vaccin de la fièvre jaune dans le carnet des vaccins "standards". La vaccination de la fièvre jaune est la seule ( à part celle contre la méningite pour certaines destinations spécifiques) à être obligatoire selon pour certains pays et dès lors contrôlé à la frontière. Tous les autres vaccins ne sont jamais contrôlés par les autorités car non obligatoires pour entrer dans aucun pays, l'intérêt du carnet est pour vous, afin de savoir contre quelle maladie vous êtes immunisée, quand un rappel serait souhaitable etc etc.
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !
Nous partons à 4 femmes, nous nous sommes rencontrées sur le site, pour 13 jours, et avec un guide local en voiture..... Dakar St Louis etc...
Nous n'irons pas en casamance ni les environs.
Si vous avez envie de parler de votre expérience au Sénégal, je suis preneuse de conseils et bons plans ou infos intéressantes, même si c'est une autre partie du Sénégal ou autre voyage !
Cordialement !
Annie
bonjour au senegal tout est a voire mais je vous conseille le contact local .sa population est assz acceuillante .frofiter surtout d'une nuit dans le desert de lompoul et un trip dans les iles du saloum avec une journee en brousse
Hello
le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune est désormais à vie. Mon dernier datait de 2005 et quand je me suis présentée fin 2015 pour le refaire, on m'a dit non et pas de test proposé. ..par contre j'ai bien mon carnet jaune avec celui de 1995 et de 2005...Et je me sers de ce carnet pour y noter les autres vaccinations pour ne pas trimballer un carnet de santé. A minima, être à jour de DTCOQPOLIO.
je vous encourage à visiter le Saloum. Me contacter en MP pour des adresses.
bon trip les filles
Bonsoir,
Vous avez parfaitement raison sur le plan médical, le vaccin fièvre jaune est efficace de manière très prolongée. Cependant, et c'est là que le bât peut blesser, certains pays exigent une vaccination de moins de 10 ans. Si c'est le cas, le douanier ou l'officier d'immigration peut vous interdire l'entrée du territoire. Ce n'est plus une question médicale dans ce cas mais purement administrative.
Bonsoir je m'appelle Idy je suis du Sénégal.. Enfaite tu na pas besoin de vous re vacciné, juste l'attestation du centre sa suffit. Juste on va te demander le carnets, mais comme que tu a l'attestation sa suffit merci...
Merci a tous pour vos reponses.
En effet, j ai fait des serologies pour savoir si j avais encore les anticorps pour la fievre jaune apres mon vaccin en 1985, et en meme temps pour l hepatite A.
Je les ai pour les 2, alors que je n ai jamais eu de vaccin pour l hepatite.
J ai RV au centre de vaccination demain en leur amenant ces resultats, et ils vont me faire une attestation ou meme un carnet de vaccination peut etre donc c est ok je pense pour la douane...
Merci
Bonsoir
Comme la vaccination contre la fièvre jaune n’est pas obligatoire en arrivant de France au Sénégal vous n’aurez de toute façon aucun souci. Pour l’hép A cela veut dire qu’en fait vous l’avez eue Dans l’enfance c’est une maladie qui passe facilement inaperçue , il n’y a pas toujours une jaunisse visible
Oui on m a dit en effet, qu une personne sur 2, l a attrape naturellement.
En tous cas, ca vaut le coup de faire une serologie pour savoir, ou on en est...comme ca, je sais desormais que je n ai pas besoin de faire ce vaccin.
J en profite pour demander a quiconque qui pourrait me renseigner, sur des adresses d associations, soit humanitaire, soit artistiques, culturelles (danse, chant...etc...) ou des lieux autres, hors circuit touristique et dans lesquelles je pourrai m investir, echanger tout au moins...car ne connaissant personne sur place, ce serait un moyen pour moi, de rentrer plus facilement en contact avec les gens sur place et de maniere plus securisante.
Merci pour cela !!!
C'est vrai que le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune est maintenant valable à vie mais pour info je suis allée au Sénégal l'année dernière et à la douane personne ne m'a demandé mon carnet de vaccinations ni d'ailleurs à aucune personne autour de moi.
Moi j'ai visité la région du Siné Saloum qui est magnifique et je peux vous dire que les Sénéglais sont très sympas et accueillants et que si vous avez le sourire ils se feront un plaisir de vous faire découvrir des lieux magnifiques et des plats locaux dont eux seuls ont le secret en dehors des chemins touristiques.
Est ce dangereux de faire son vaccin 4 jous avant de partir pour le Senegal? j'ai pris seulement la decision de partir hiers, j'ai appelé l'hopital aujourd'hui…
Pouvez vous me dire s'il est encore obligatoire de se faire vacciner pour une séjour d'une semaine au sénégal, tout en sachant que nous resterons sur SALY et…
J'ai un voyage prévu au sénégal du 30 mars au 12 avril 2013 mais à cause d'un pb medical le vaccin contre la fievre jaune est contre indiqué pour moi! Je sais…
J'aimerais visiter le Sénégal, a partir de Paris, a quel aéroport arrive t'on? est ce que Saphi (ou saly) est loin, je ne souviens plus de l'orthographe. Doit…
J'hésite à partir seule à Saly en juillet. Est ce agréable pour une personne seule? Concernant les moustiques, sont ils nombreux? Je n'ai pas envie de prendre…
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!
