Malaria and toddlers?

Hello Expats!

We're a Danish family ( not to be confused with Dutch! ) of four, - and we are planning on coming to Tanzania, in the next couple of months, - to see if this is a place, where we can make a new and better, more natural life for ourselves.

My biggest concern is my youngest daughter who will be two years old, this may.

I am concerned about primarily malaria, and would really like some feedback from other expats, who have young children - and how they've handled this challenge?

I am not really confident giving her doxycycline or mepron as a prophylactic, since these are pretty serious drugs.

So how big a risk is it, bringing a two year old, to Tanzania - in your opinion?
