Bonjour, moi j'aimerais savoir si des gens sont au courrant de la vaccination contre le coléra. J'aimerais choisir un voyage en République mais je ne suis pas certaine donc j'aimerais avoir votre opinion. Merci! Josée

C'est un vaccin que tu prends par la bouche, c'est pas une piqûre. Il est efficace à 60% pour la prévention du choléra mais est surtout utilisé pour prévenir la tourista. Tu peux l'obtenir dans une clinique de voyageur et c'est environ 80$. Il n'y a pas vraiment de danger en RD car il n'y a eu qu'environ 135 cas de choléra mais aucun décès. Dans les resorts, les conditions sont salubres, tu ne bois que de l'eau en bouteille et toute la nourriture est préparée avec de la bonne eau. En Haiti, les conditions dans les villes sont très mauvaises, à cause du tremblement de terre, les inondations et les conditions de vie très pauvres.
Voici ce que L'Agence de la santé publique du Canada dit sur le sujet (2e paragraphe est en français):
http://popreport.com/2010/11/public-health-canada-cholera-not-a-reason-to-cancel-travel-plans/
Et présentement L'agence n'a émis aucune mesure d'urgence pour déconseiller les voyages en RD http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/index-fra.php

Ça me fait plaisir Josée si ça peut t'éclairer. Je suis allée en RD au début de décembre et il n'y avait personne de malade. J'ai eu la diarhée vers le milieu de la semaine, mais pas rien d'autre et j'ai pris environ 6 immodiums dans ma semaine. Avant de partir, j'ai demandé à mon médecin s'il le recommandait et il m'a répondu que les chances de l'attraper dans un resort étaient nulles, à moins d'aller en Haiti et d'interagir avec les Haïtiens, de manger là, etc. Il m'a dit que les médicaments pour le guérir (antibiotiques et sels de réhydratation) étaient plus efficaces que celui pour le prévenir, appelé Dukoral. Si tu as la diarhée du voyageur (tourista) tu prends des Immodiums et tu suis les directions sur la boite. Mais si tu l'as encore quelques jurs après ton retour, consulte ton médecin ou va à la clinique.

Bonjour, nous partons, pour un mois, du 12 février au 12 mars en République Dominicaine, pour la 6eme fois. comme je devais aller 8 jours en humanitaire en H^¨iti, mon docteur ma conseiller le vaccin pour le Choléra, mais en Rep Dom, ce n'est pas obligatoire. d'un autr coté, ce vaccin ne provoque pas de désagrément, il est vraiment q'une petite injection bénine. Je te conseille la cote nord, si tu veux vraiment t'impregner de la république Dominicaine authentique. La region usine à touriste est dans la région punta cana. Si tu souhaite des renseignements plus précis, fait moi signe. amities Gillou79

Bonjour Gillou79
Au Canada, nous n'avons pas l'injection pour le choléra. Il s'agit plutôt de deux petits sachets de poudre que l'on mélange avec de l'eau et on doit le prendre en deux doses. Il n'est pas désagréable et n'a pas d'effets secondaires.
Comme toi, je préfère la région de Puerto Plata. Je suis d'accord que la côte nord représente beaucoup plus la RD et c'est très intéressant à visiter, mais il y a des gens qui vont en vacances pour se reposer et faire de la plage, alors Punta Cana avec ses plages magnifiques est l'endroit idéal pour la détente.
Bon séjour et félicitations pour ton oeuvre humanitaire en Haïti.

Alors là, les bras m'en tombent !!! je voudrais bien savoir quelle injection contre le choléra se trouve en France !!!
Au dernières nouvelles du ministère de la santé (français) , le vaccin Dukoral, par voie ORALE n'est disponible QUE dans les centres de vaccinations internationales et UNIQUEMENT pour les personnes réellement exposées (personnel humanitaire essentiellement). J'aimerais donc bien savoir quelle injection vous avez reçue ..
Bon voyage
Bonjour, je crois que vous avez raison, notre docteur, à ma demande , de savoir si il etait souhaitable de nous faire vacciner, contre le Choléra, ne nous à rien expliquer, et fait des vaccins TYPHIM VI. Je crois que ces vaccins sont surtout, contre la fieve typhoïde?? c'est peut être une protection suplémentaire, pour ce rendre en Haïti? Bonne journée.Gillou79

Bonjour a toi.
Présentement aucun vaccin n'est obligatoire pour la RD, voici deux sites a visiter www.santepublique.gc.ca et www.msss.gouv.ca, ainsi que info santé tel: 811, tu auras toutes les réponses aux questions que tu te poses,
Personnellement j'ai reçu le vaccins contre l'hépatite A et B, pour le reste il s'agit simplement de question d'hygiène
Ce n'est pas parce que les choses sont difficiles que nous n'osons pas c'est parce que nous n'osons pas qu'elles sont difficiles
Simple oublie de ma part, en vacance, nos habitudes alimentaires changent, la préparation des mets est différente différente, de ce que nous connaissons ic, tout est cuit dans l'huile, de plus on mange plus de fruits et de salade, en plus de consommer un peu plus d'alcool,
Donc le système digestif en mange un coup, pas surprenant que l'on ai une petite dhiarée, qui n'est pas la tourista et encore moins le Choléra, mais bien une réaction normale ayant changer nos habitudes alimentaires et le même fait survient a notre retour, car on revient a nos habitudes
Remarque que cette informations émane de mon médecin, car par le passé j'ai eu un petit désagremment, intestinal🤪😕 et il m'a fort bien expliquer la situation. étant voyageur lui même.
Alors bonne vacance et soit sans crainte.
Sur les sites que je t'ai transmis, tu trouveras pratiquement toutes les maladies du monde et la façon de les prévenir
Ce n'est pas parce que les choses sont difficiles que nous n'osons pas c'est parce que nous n'osons pas qu'elles sont difficiles
je suis rentrée de rep dom hier. aucun souci avec le cholera. tres beau pays. seule règles: te laver les mains régulièrement et ne pas boire l'eau du robinet. pas de propagation du cholera car les dominicains sont très propres. vas-y les yeux fermés et bon voyage

Je pense que personne n'a et n'aurais eu l'idée de discuter les difficultés rencontrées par les Haitiens, les insultes ne sont pas utiles.
Quand à la rumeur concernant l'introduction du choléra par les népalais, elle me semble sans aucun intérêt, et j'en ai parlé déjà sur le forum.
Cela a beaucoup d’intérêt monsieur car la cause de se désastre c'est une force qui est censé venir en aide, vous considérez que quand un pays connait des difficultés il suffit d'y envoyer des casques bleus sans vérifier leur état de santé c'est sérieux sa vous pensez!C'est grave ce que vous dites monsieur des gens sont mort vraiment pour de vrai monsieur a cause de cela! redescendais sur terre!!!!!La source de la propagation du choléra par les casques bleu népalais n'est pas une rumeur monsieur , il vous suffit de vous informer auprès des médias haïtien ou même français , il faut vous mettre au courant des nouvelles informations et il me semble que vous avez la science infuse monsieur qui ne connait haiti que part la république dominicaine . La souche est d'origine asiatique et le choléra n'existait plus depuis des décennies en Haiti. De plus il me semble injuste que cette population déjà victime d'un terrible tremblement de terre soit toucher, encore par une telle tragédie et malheureusement le choléra tue toujours en Haiti a l'heure ou je vous parle. En bref la minustha est bien responsable de cela .Si cela arrivé chez vous je pense que vous ne parleriez pas de simple rumeur Monsieur.Quand une telle épidémie arrive je pense qu'il faut trouver la source entre autre les casques bleu népalais, une tragédie n'arrive pas seule. Voila et les haïtiens considère les casques bleus comme une force d'occupation , d'ailleur des casques bleus uruguayen on violé un jeune homme haïtien et on diffusé la vidéo sur internet . La minustah commence a diminuer ses troupes progressivement en Haiti et considère que leur mission sera bientôt fini, après tous ces déboire il était temps.
Il peut en effet être trouvé scandaleux qu'une aide humanitaire aie été envoyée en Haïti; c'est une opinion., qui pourrait lancer un débat complexe.
La MINUSTAH, créée en 2004, n'a rien à voir avec les événements récents.
vous appeler une aide humanitaire des soldats armé de mitraillette c'est plutôt une aide militaire , la mission essentielle de la minustah est le maintien de la paix en Haiti, vous imaginez le secours populaire armé ? avez vous connu l'occupation , l'humiliation? http://www.rfi.fr/...use-une-affaire-viol
Et selon vous qui a introduit le choléra en Haiti? Peut être par l'opération du saint-esprit? http://www.cyberpresse.ca/...s-bleus-nepalais.php et pour information la minustah créé effectivement en 2004 est dirigée par le brésil est composé de bataillon chilien uruguayen nepalais......
Vous avez probablement raison, mais le débat sur le rôle et la présence de la Minustah est aussi complexe que celui sur la présence américaine en Irak, tout aussi politique, et n'a pas vraiment sa place ici, vous ne croyez pas?
Quant au problème du choléra, la rumeur quand elle a circulé n'a fait que rajouter des troubles à une situation difficile; L'épidémie de choléra ne se serait pas développée sans la destruction des infrastructures de sanitation et de fourniture d'eau potable.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
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.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

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?
Thanks for your feedback!

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,

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?
Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone,
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!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
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?
Thanks

Hi,
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?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
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?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

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?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

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?
Thanks so much for your help!

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!
