Do I need malaria tablets? |
I'm going to Mauritus in July and I've had my travel jabs and the nurse said I would need some Malaria tablets too but I've looked it up and the web says I don't need them. What do you think? They are also very expensive. Advice on malaria changes frequently but at the moment no antimaleria medication is required for Mauritius. Advice to you is to use insect repellant, mosquito nets and wear long sleeved clothing after dusk. u will need them, and they are not expensive, buy them from the chemist your nurse is qualified, is the author of the web page you seen qualified?? Malaria is a very serious disease, best to get professional advice. I got mine on prescription for free when my son went to Ecuador, see your GP first! You may be lucky. It's better to buy the pills than get malaria! Logon to the The Foreign and Commonwealth website at www.fco.gov.uk and follow the appropriate links for up to date information about Mauritius and any other country you like the look of yes u will Below is a link to malaria information for travelers to eastern portions of Africa (including Mauritius). It says that you need antimalarials if you are going to be spending time in rural areas. |
