Hello to everyone going to China. I am going to China on the 12th September and doing the Yangtze Cruise. I have been to my GP and had the necessary jabs. He told me that I did not need Malaria protection because I was only going to tourist areas.
However, I was talking to a Chinese business man, and he tells me that although the Doctor was right in what he told me, it would be very advisable to go on a course of Malarone, because of the current weather situation with the floods. As he put it, Floods spread diseases. and flies like to drink!!
I don't want to frighten anyone, but this gentleman lives in Beijing, so it is first hand knowledge.
