Hello,

iam planning to visit India for 1 month in Dec'09.
Now a days in India there is a more possibility to get infected with different viruses like Dengue Fever....

My question is:

1. is there any Vaccination available in Germany for Dengue Fever as i have TK H.Insurence.

2. anyway i will visit my Hausarzt, before that i want to know u r experience with Vaccinations that i need for India env.

3. if i ask my Hausartz i guess he will recommend me to take min 2-4 Vaccinations. is it advisable as i grown up in India and since 6 yrs living in Germany?

thank you

Mr. sinu,

i think you are still growing!
other than worrying about dengue, maleria, loveria.... you must consider taking atleast swine flu SHOT and as a matter of caution, Take the shot on right arm if you are left handed!!

good luck

I think, about Dengu--> Your Indian doctor can help rather than here as it is not well known here.

By I way, I am hearing some different negative news regarding swine flue vacine. Talk with your doctor before taking it.
