Sun, Sea and... Dengue? Prepare for a Carefree Vacation to Cura\u00e7ao with Vaccination Point!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelling to tropical destinations like Cura\u00e7ao can be a dream holiday, but it is important to be aware of possible health risks, such as dengue. Here's what you need to know to make your trip safe and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Dengue?
<\/em>Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Symptoms range from high fever and severe headache to muscle pain, skin rash and mild bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dengue on Cura\u00e7ao
<\/em>In Cura\u00e7ao, dengue is active all year round, with increased risks during the rainy season from October to January. It is essential to always take precautions, especially during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precautions for Travellers
<\/em>Before travelling to Cura\u00e7ao, take the following measures to prevent dengue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Mosquito repellents<\/strong>: Use agents containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Clothing<\/strong>: Wear long sleeves, long trousers and socks, especially in the morning and evening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Accommodation<\/strong>: Choose stays with good mosquito netting, air conditioning or mosquito nets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Surroundings<\/strong>: Avoid standing water and make sure your accommodation regularly fights mosquitoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Vaccinations and Medical Preparation
    <\/em>For your trip to areas with dengue, such as Cura\u00e7ao, visit Vaccination point<\/strong> well in advance. A vaccine against dengue is available that consists of two doses, with a minimum interval of three months. So start vaccination at least three months before departure. If this is not possible, Vaccination Point can advise you on other preventive measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Symptoms and treatment
    <\/em>If you experience dengue symptoms during or after your trip, seek medical attention immediately. Treat symptoms with plenty of rest, adequate fluid intake and paracetamol (avoid aspirin and ibuprofen due to increased bleeding risk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Travelling with Dengue
    <\/em>If you have already contracted dengue before travelling to Cura\u00e7ao:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Medical Preparation<\/strong>: Bring your medical records and consult your doctor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Insurance<\/strong>: Check your travel insurance for medical cover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Health on board<\/strong>: Stay hydrated and inform the cabin crew of your condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Although dengue is a serious health risk, it does not have to stop you from having a great holiday to Cura\u00e7ao. With the right precautions, you can enjoy your trip safely and worry-free. Make an appointment at Vaccination point<\/strong> for advice and vaccinations to go out prepared.
