The best thing to do is to go and see your doctor, as everyone is different.

You also, do not need to take your own mosquito net and they are provided for you.

When I went the other year we all took maleria tablets, most took malerone (think that's how it is spelt). As Sally-Anne say's all hotels have mossy nets, and they do spray the rooms late afternoon.

If there is anything else I can help you with please ask.

Thanks I have looked at various sites for malaria tablets and malerone seems to have the fewest side effects though it is the most expensive. Do you know the cheapest place to get it?

Maureen

This is the company I used and many others have used on these boards here.

I had to send my private prescription from the doctor to them, but think this might of changed ? I think you have to take 2 days before you go all the while your away and I think a week when you come back I am sure your doctor or the website will confirm how many you need. Yes they are dearer but they do NOT have as many side effects. I was fine with these.

I think I had to pay for the Yellow fever jab at the doc's as well. But not the other injections.
