A quick word about travel vaccinations
This Wednesday is going to be a very very good day!
This week, precisely 64 days before we depart, we will receive our final travel vaccinations - no more weekly jabs for us!
After weeks of enduring painful injections and an array of interesting side effects, tomorrow is a day for celebration. But despite the slightly unpleasant nature of the last few months, there is no way that we would ever have considered not having these vaccinations.
The vaccinations that we have been given, combined with the malaria tablets that we will take during our time in Malarial zones, are essential factors in ensuring that we have a safe and happy trip around the world this year.
In total, the vaccinations have cost us £375 per person. This included Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis, administered at our local Doctor's surgery. We also had a Typhoid and a combined Hepatitis A&B vaccination for free on the NHS. Luckily, our diphtheria, tetanus and polio vaccinations were already up to date.
In addition to this, the malaria tablets cost approximately £200 for 10 weeks of Malarone for me (recommended for women) and £75 for 10 weeks of Doxycycline for Josh.
This gives us a total cost of approximately £1025 for our travel vaccinations.
The peace of mind, however, for ourselves and our families, is priceless.
In our opinion, failure to take these reasonable measures to protect ourselves against these diseases, would have been irresponsible, senseless and downright dumb. Not to mention that it would have totally invalidated our travel insurance!
Nonetheless, at 6pm on Wednesday, I am sure we will both be whole-heartedly celebrating the end of this rather un-glamorous chapter of travel preparation!
Malarone – Prevention against Malaria
Malaria is a disease that is spread by the bite of a mosquito that is infected.
Malarone is one of the most popular drugs and very effective against malaria. This tropical disease spreads and is dangerous especially in Southeast Asia and Africa and causes thousands of deaths each year and is a risk to thousands of tourists traveling through this area.
Several different species of mosquitoes that can transmit disease and are always bites from female mosquitoes (males do not feed on blood). The only way to spread among humans is that a pregnant woman carrying the parasite and passes it via the placenta to the baby. It has also been reported that infection can be caused due to blood transfusions as well.
The disease is debilitating and causes the deaths of between 700,000 and 2.7 million people a year. The basic symptoms are fever, chills, headache, vomiting, nausea, and cough, if more severe it can cause liver failure, jaundice, nervous system disorders and finally coma.
There are 3 types of malaria, some milder and more severe (depends on the type of mosquito infection that happens). Infection in the most severe cases can last up to 50 years on the force.
Malarone is a prophylaxis against malaria that has become very popular in recent years due to its high efficiency and minimal side effects (which until now was a big deal). Malarone can be taken to prevent malaria infection if you are traveling to areas where the disease is endemic.
How to take Malarone? You must start taking Malarone 1 or 2 days before entering the infected area, and since then every day that you spend in the area, and at least 7 days after you come out of the area. The medication must be taken every day at the same hour. If vomiting 1 hour after taking the medicine must be repeated dosing.
Malarone must not be taken if: You have kidney problems. You are allergic to drugs containing this medicine.
Side-Effects
Consult your doctor and stop taking Malarone if you side effects such as hives; difficulty in breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Use of Malarone: Malarone also serves as the treatment of the disease and is an interesting option to the people who live in countries with high malaria risk.
In case of malaria, follow this procedure: take 4 Malarone pills for 3 days.
For use in children, consult a physician.
