Malaria vaccine
Is there a vaccine for malaria? Do I need to get protection against this illness? If I do, when should I begin treatment? What about protection for babies?
No vaccine against malaria exists at present but certain preventive drugs (such as anti-malaria prophylaxis) are available. Some of these drugs must be started a week or two before your departure, while for others the first dose isn’t taken until just before your trip. The choice of a preferable medication will depend on previous details of your health, your destination and the length of your trip. Babies, on the other hand, must be absolutely protected against this potentially fatal disease. An expert travel health physician will be able to advise you about the best way to treat your family.
