I've posted on an old thread recently about moving to Kuala Lumpur and had some lovely responses from fatowl but it seems to have been deleted as I can't find it so thought I would start a new post. Thank you for your replies fatowl you have been very helpful so far. Here's the story...
We are moving as a family to Kuala Lumpur this August (hubby, me and 3yr old daughter). All the prep is going well, then I hear about a Dengue fever outbreak in the city and that a new strain of the virus has been discovered.
On further research we've read that it can be potentially lethal for young children, and if you get it a second time the consequences can be very serious.
Our daughter obviously means the world to us and we don't want to put her in harms way. All the info we are reading is not making us feel very comfortable with the move and it's getting to the point where we are considering not going.
Now we are not the sort of people to normally flap about such things but with the little one we are having serious doubts. Anyone have experience of dengue fever or any advice to help settle our minds? Thanks in advance for your help.
