Bonjour,
Non, rien de plus que ce qui vous semble nécessaire chez vous.

Salut, je pars en septembre prochain et l'on m'a conseillé de faire le vaccin contre Hépatite A + un eventuel traitement anti paludéen. sinon, le traitement contre les troubles intestinaux semble indispensable, en cas de tourista.
Un traitement antipaludéen pour l'Egypte 🤪🤪🤪🤪....
Changez de médecin.
Michel
Changez de médecin.
Michel
bon alors pour finir c'est mieux de faire quoi ?
Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiii 😉
Rien de plus que chez vous.
Si vous avez envie, faites l'hépatite A. Mais gardez à l'esprit que vous pouvez la contracter en Belgique. Ou être déjà protégé si vous n'êtes pas jeune.

Je suis parti 15 jours en egypte en 2005, je n'ai fait aucun vaccin préalable. Ils ne sont pas obligatoires, et pour cause. par contre, si tu voyages comme un sdf (hôtels miteux...), fais-les !
Un conseil : ne jamais boir l'eau du robinet, même en se lavant les dents
J'ai eu un peu mal au ventre une demi-journée, c'est tout. Mon amie n'a pas eu de pb non plus (elle en avait eu en tunisie).

Bonjour,
Ce n'est pas la saleté supposée d'un hotel - et il y a peu d'hotels sales en Egypte - qui vous donnera une hépatite ou la typhoide.... Evitez surtout les piscines... Celles des hôtels club, justement !

Mis à part le vaccin du Tetanos que tout le monde devrait avoir, il n'y a pas de vaccin obligé pour l'Egypte. La tourista, ben je pense que c'est comme partout, il suffit de prendre certaines précautions, j'ai mangé dans des restos " "pas pour touristes " " et je n'ai jamais été malade.
Le traitement antipalu!!!! jamais entendu parlé de ça pour ce pays.

Pas boire l'eau du robinet 🤪
Je te signale que la première ville sur le continent africain a bénéficier d'une adduction d'eau potable, c'est Louxor, vers 1890, alors qu'il y a encore des endroits en Europe où ce n'est pas le cas...
J'ai mangé partout et de tout sans jamais de problèmes (sauf la fois où j'ai par malheur avalé quelques gouttes du jus infâme appelé aussi "eau de la piscine d'un bateau de croisière".
Avec tous ces corps qui tentent de se refraîchir dans quelques mètres cubes d'eau très chaude, les microbes divers sont à la fête !
Il ne faut ni plus ni moins de vaccins en Egypte qu'en Europe.
Etre vacciné contre l'hépatite A est aussi conseillé en Europe qu'en Egypte ou partout au monde.
merci pour le conseil, michel!
en l'occurence le conseil vient de l'agence de voyage, dc eventuellment chger d'agence!!!lol
Oui......
Si vous en trouvez une qui sache conseiller correctement à ce sujet....

😇 site internet pour prévention sanitaire (différents pays):
www.sante-voyages.com. nombreuses indications sur vaccins et hygiene alimentaire.
Hello je te recommande de voir le site safetravel.ch qui est parfait pour tout renseignement concernant les voyages. Je ne connais pas le nom des vaccins que vous avez en Belgique mais ils recommandent Dipthérie-tetanos et hépatite.A A partir du moment où tu te fais vacciner contre l'hépatite sache qu'il existe un vaccin qui est valable pour les hépatites A et B. Il s'appelle Twinrix.😄 Bon voyage et ne bois pas d'eau non capsulée
Lorsque j'en aurais assez d'aller voir au loin j'irai voir d'où je viens.
Bonsoir,
Vaccins DTP à jour, l'hépatite A n'est pas obligatoire mais ce serais plus prudent ainsi que produit anti moustiques. Ne pas oublier la trousse à pharmacie avec paracetamol et médicament pour soigner la tourista impératif!! A noter que même dans les hôtels "dit" propre on peut contracter de gros microbes dans les intestins (on dérouille ... et même rentré en France)à cause de la chaine du froid qui est mal respectée.

Bonjour,
Bien sur, mais vous avez tendance a creer la confusion....
Le vaccin contre l'hepatite A n'est jamais obligatoire, nulle part ; c'est un vaccin un peu de 'confort' ou de 'surete' qu'on peut faire, mais pas specialement pour l'etranger, aussi bien chez soi. Repulsifs antimoustiques, oui, mais la aussi, surtout pour le confort, pas contre une eventuelle malaria. A bien des egards, comme vous le faıtes remarquer, une gros hotel 'industriel' est plus risque qu'une gargote, car ces processus sont mal maitrises et peu controles.

Oui, nous avons poussé à l'oasis de Siwa;nous étions à 7 km de la libye.Je ne voudrais dégouter personne mais nous avons vu ou notre équipe d'accompagnateurs faisait la vaisselle un jour....tu veux savoir?
alors voilà:près d'une source d'eau chaude, comme il y en a beaucoup par là, mais il y avait beaucoup de choses vertes qui flottaient dedans!!!Nous pensions que le soir nous aurions une soupe à l'oseille!!!Eh bien, non et personne n'a été malade en remangeant dans les assiettes.Cà devait etre notre jour de chance.

c'est un choix, oui et non;quelque fois on a consommé plus de bouteilles que prévu et ensuite il faut faire avec les moyens du bord.Mais c'est une habitude, en libye nous n'avions pas d'eau potable, seulement l'eau des puits;de meme pour le niger.

Salut Cassebonbon !
Tu portes un sacré pseudo😉
Pas besoin de vaccin supplémentaire pour voyager en Egypte, l'eau du robinet est traitée, elle est potable, et a un gout fort de javel. En croisière beaucoup de gens ont attrapé une bonne tourista, je ne sais pas ce qu'ils font avec l'eau 😛 sur les bateaux, servent_ils l'eau du Nil🤪? Evite les crudités si tu es fragile des intestins, ne mange pas de fruits dejà épluchés ni de salade de fruits, cela devrait t'éviter de loger des amibes dans les intestins. Voili, voilà !

Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

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 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?

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…
