Woops! Thanks for spotting that Aleks. Much appreciated. I’ve fixed the mistake now.

Tack Kim!

Ha! Glad that worked, delaying the explanation of what I was doing. 🙂

I’m afraid that vaccinations are a must for many places in the world. As far as yellow fever goes, it’s endemic in a lot of tropical countries, sadly Ghana is one. Also, many countries where it isn’t found still want you to be protected against it. Even if you are flying from a country that doesn’t have yellow fever (Belgium) to another country that doesn’t have it (South Africa for example), if your plane has to land in a country that does (Ghana, say), you can then be refused entry to your final destination if you don’t have the inoculation.

Smallpox was a dreadful disease. I’m not surprised the inoculation caused a serious reaction… but 30 years, I wouldn’t have guessed!

Thanks for your good wishes Eva. I suspect – if the trip goes ahead – there may be some reports published here.

Hade en liknande erfarenhet som din i barndomen. Sonen till städerskan på pappas jobb (stadskontoret i Huddinge) hade kommit hem från en lång resa och medförde som en gåva smittkoppor. Enkel vaccination, de bara rispade i huden. Men sen … En jättekoppa i regnbågens alla färger som tog uppemot trettio år på sig att blekna till hudfärg. Borde fortfarande duga som gult kort …

Lycka till med resplanerna!
