Today I were at the tropical disease specialist.

I were vaccinated against rabies and typhus. I don't need to be worried about the Ebola virus, it is presented more dramatical in the media than it is. Then the Ebola virus onlyappeared in the areas close to the border to Congo and that's not where I am.

In two weeks I have to go to the tropical disease specialits again, then I will get the second anti-rabies inoculation together with the vaccination against meningitis.

Then I will need a third anti-rabies inoculation 1-3 weeks after the second one.

Then the specialist advises me to take a malarian prophylaxis (Lariam), which I may test in Germany, if side effects appear. If the side effects are to much, then I won't take the prophylaxis and got to the doctor immediately in Uganda when I show any sign of malaria.

Best wishes
