Disease prevention - Immunoprophylaxis for travellers

For more than 20 years, UAB Endemik is engaged in the field of immunoprophylaxis. We are the immunoprophylaxis leaders in Lithuania. Qualified medical personnel provides travellers with full and comprehensive information about travel vaccines. They explain which vaccines are required or recommended in certain countries. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective preventive measures: preventive vaccination is much less expensive than treatment for both the individual and the society. Immunoprophylaxis for travellers is an opportunity to avoid infectious diseases when travelling not only in Lithuania but also abroad.

We recommend travellers to contact health care facilities 4-6 weeks before their trip, since the development of immunity after vaccination requires a certain time period. If, however, less time remains before the travel, it is still recommended that you contact a medical institution, as some vaccinations may be carried out at a later time.

Information on infectious diseases which are often faced by travellers.
