I dont think they are really bothered by the swine flu mess, they are just doing it to impress the internationals .... [sorry to say this but in africa health care is too expensive a government expense to bother with a disease that is yet to be confirmed as a sure killer ]
In Benin, we simply avoided the jab by handing them our yellow fever certificates. [Which i had bought for a fee from a reliable hospital in Nairobi a day earlier and filled it with my own handwriting].
The guys, complete with paper masks on their faces could not read. [I wonder if viruses are that scared by the white paper, why do they put dust masks for a virus spore ?]
They thought our yellow fever certificates were for swine flu.
So they simply handed us back the small yellow booklets and let us pass.
