Malaria

I remembered that I didn't speak much about this... It's a parasite transmitted via mosquito bites. Those mosquitoes only go out at night. There are no effective vaccines yet, although medication, like Malarone, can prevent it. It's quite expensive, so it's better to have an health insurance.

Mosquito repellents with DEET work fine and it's also a good idea to sleep with a net around the bed.

Vaccines!

Got my vaccines today! Meningitis, Yellow Fever, Polio-Tetanos-Diphteria and Hepatitis A. What's left now, is to take orally the one against Typhoid Fever. I didn't have to take the one against Hepatitis B because it is good for life and I found the proof that I already got it. I also have a prescription for Malarone, a medicine against malaria.

The cost of the vaccines... 440$! Fortunately, I have an insurance that will cover all the cost.
