About the Radboud Travel and Vaccination Desk

Use our list of questions to find out whether you are a special traveller.

Radboudumc has more than 50 years of experience in tropical medicine and is one of the expertise centres in the Netherlands in this field. In addition to caring for patients with tropical diseases, scientific research is carried out regarding diseases such as malaria, dengue, and tuberculosis.

Side effects of vaccinations

In most cases, you will have no side effects at all or only slightly after vaccination. The most common side effects are redness, pain or a rigid bump at the injection site, a stiff, sore muscle or a low-grade fever. These side effects start on the day of vaccination and usually last no longer than two days. 

Yellow fever is an exception to this. Any side effects of this vaccination usually arise five to ten days after vaccination. 

If you suffer from side effects, it is usually not necessary to go to the doctor. A wet bandage and, if necessary, a painkiller can treat a red, painful spot at the injection site. You don’t need to call a doctor even if the temperature rises slightly. Any antipyretic (e.g. paracetamol) may help.

If the side effects last longer or are more severe than described above, please contact your doctor. The does not neccessarily have to be the cause of you feeling ill. For example, you may also just happen to have an infection. 

If a blood sample has been taken from you via a prick in the elbow fold, it cannot always be avoided that a bruise will occur afterwards. 
 


Take your medications with you when travelling

You cannot just take medicines that fall under the Opium Act with you on a trip. You will find which statement you need on the website of the CAK.
