Recommended vaccines
As always and everywhere, it is important to be protected against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (whose reappearance in adults, even in France, justifies vaccination for any trip), polio, hepatitis A and B, especially for children, measles and possibly rabies.
Other risks
DURING THE PERIOD OF CIRCULATION OF COVID19, WE INVITE TRAVELERS TO CONSULT OUR HEALTH NEWS, OR WE UPDATE THE HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS.
In the event of a stay in the forest or a summer hike, the risk of diseases transmitted by tick bite justifies strict surveillance and protection: daily research and extraction of the insect; protection of the legs by covering trousers and use of a repellent for the exposed parts. Vaccination, which only protects against tick-borne encephalitis, is only offered for extended professional stays in risk areas. Antibiotic treatment is only justified in the event of local inflammation.
Infrastructures
The health infrastructures are satisfactory everywhere, but the cost of care in some private structures requires checking all the clauses of the insurance-assistance contract taken out before departure.
Observations
