Vaccinations
The thing I could not forget was to make sure that the vaccine creatures and bacteria implanted in me in 2009 – at an earlier visit – were sufficient for the current visit.
I have read a lot about vaccinations and various opinions on the desirability and without these measures having regard to the specific range of action and possible side effects. It is also impossible not to mention here the peculiar commercial approach and general promotion of vaccination for everything. From my current perspective, I can say that I succumbed to this current of vaccination in 2009.
Entering Tanzania requires a yellow fever vaccination – The destination of an earlier trip was southern Kenya so expediency seemed sensible. Yellow fever – 175 zł
Having been on a Nile cruise in Egypt in 2008 that resulted in half the people on the ship catching Hepatitis A, this vaccination also seemed helpful to me, especially since it can be caught so easily and drags a person down nightmarishly. Hepatitis A (Hepatitis A) – a dose of 175 zł (2 doses are needed for protection for life, the second dose given a minimum of 6 months after the first).
The fact of poor availability of water and other nutritional products caused my shoulder to be directed under the needle of typhoid fever vaccine (Typhoid fever) – 160 zł.
Polio appeared in Kenya – info I read and, unfortunately, was not without revelation that you need to be vaccinated because the disease is foodborne. Polio (Poliomyelitis)- 80 zł.
Meningococcus B+C – there is a concept of Meningococcal belt concerning sub-Saharan Africa, stretching from Gambia, Senegal through Nigeria, Chad, Uganda and finally Kenya. Meningococcal B+C (Meningitis) – PLN 168.
his year I had to be vaccinated for tetanus and diphtheria due to my age – PLN 40 and get a second dose of hepatitis A – PLN 175.
Vaccination for hepatitis B I had somehow in 1998 what is in force.
There remains an ongoing dispute over antimalarial prophylaxis. Previously, we took malarone. We were ok after that. Later, the Warsaw tropical doctor scolded for taking these drugs as not fully researched…. hmm and be smart here 🙂 I read in Beata Pawlikowska and also found this practice in the statements of forum members, that when traveling for more than a month they do not take pills every day and only buy a package and when something takes them they take a dose that kicks the disease in the butt.
Faced with doubts, I decided that I would go to find out from a tropical doctor in Bydgoszcz. I see him on Thursday I skip the frequency of his office in the hospital on Floriana 😉
