Do we need to take Malarone anti malaria tablets? Am weighing up the pros and cons, obviously we dont want to get Malaria but how common is it in the above countries? Reply to this

Hello Phil and Viki 😊

Check the WHO(World Health Organisation) website. It gives information about the Malaria risk in every country. Also, double check with a couple of travel clinics. They sometimes differ in opinion about whether Malaria prevention medication is worth taking in the various destinations. I have never taken it in Thailand.

Here is a thread which may interest you.
Malaria prevention medication - Would you consider not taking it?
